Abstract:Heritability estimates of traits assist breeders in optimizing cultivar development and can help predict gain from selection in breeding programs. Narrow-sense heritabilities were measured in agronomic traits and glycoside concentration in four elite stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) populations using half-sib family analysis. Gain from selection at 20% selection intensity was estimated for morphological, yield, and glycoside traits. Experiments were conducted in two field locations in North Carolina.Variatio… Show more
