Abstract:Genetic gains from selection on yield were predicted in three soybean populations using original data and data corrected by the variation in agronomic traits of check cultivars. Predicted gains were compared to realized gains after correction for agricultural season effects -caused by environmental differences during the prediction and checking growing seasons -to indicate the best selection strategy and check the influence on yield of selection on the other traits assessed in the field. Individual selection, … Show more
“…Similar amplitudes of gains were obtained by Reis et al (2002), in the selection among and within families as much as in the mass selection for NDM, PHM and NP. For the latter two, the authors obtained some superior gains.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
