Selection indexes for agronomic and chemical traits in segregating sweet corn populations

Abstract: In the sweet corn breeding, the selection of superior genotypes should consider many traits simultaneously. The best strategy to select traits simultaneously is through selection indexes. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of different selection indexes based on characteristics with direct effect on grain yield in segregating sweet corn populations. Eighteen traits were evaluated in eight sweet corn genotypes on generation F3. Data were submitted to analyses of variance and path coefficient analyses. W… Show more

“…Selection can be made optimally by knowing the value of heritability, the correlation between characters, and the direct and indirect effects of a character (Silva et al 2020). The principal component analysis is used to obtain a more effective selection index.…”

“…Due to their high nutrient concentrations, these genotypes are recommended for selection to be used in breeding programs to develop biofortified cultivars. The selection indexes enable the selection of superior genotypes by simultaneously selecting various traits, resulting in more success in selection (Silva et al, 2020). Freitas et al (2022) also identified the best cowpea genotypes based on their nutrient profile (iron, zinc, and protein concentrations) using the nutritional quality index.…”

“…Peixoto et al (2021) noted that the classical index proposed by Smith and Hazel (SHI) and the sum of ranks index by Mulamba and Mock (MMI) were advantageous to produce sizeable gains distributed among several desired traits of biofortified lettuce, similar to that observed in Guimarães et al (2021) with rice and Ramos et al (2022) with peanut. The selection base WI afforded the highest total gain, desired gains all assessed traits, balanced genetic gains and considerable direct gain on GY of sweet corn (Silva et al, 2020b). In carrot, the genotype-ideotype CI provided sizeable genetic gains with an economic weight equal to the coefficients of genetic variation (Carvalho, 2022).…”
