Higher values for NPTB and PSBD are desirable, as they exhibit high correlation with productivity in future harvests (Bustamante et al, 2004;Contarato et al, 2010), and productivity is the main objective and selection criteria in coffee cultivation (Oliveira et al, 2011;Rodrigues et al, 2014).

Conilon coffee is a highly heterozygous diploid plant that is also allogamous, producing seeds through cross-fertilisation. Due to their allogamy, plants of seminiferous origin are highly heterogeneous, exhibiting high morphological and genetic diversity. However, propagation through cutting guarantees the maximum homogeneity of fields, particularly in grain maturation, among other desirable characteristics. Currently, the majority of commercial Conilon coffee is planted using seedlings propagated by cuttings. Studying the juvenile behaviour of different clonal genotypes of the Conilon coffee plant represents an important tool to assist with the establishment of this crop. The objective of this study was to assess the growth, development and genetic diversit y in several promising genotypes of the Conilon coffee plant based on the morphological characteristics of seedlings propagated by cutting. We used seedlings Conilon coffee of 33 genotypes selected by coffee growers, and with great productive potential, and genotype 02 of the Emcapa 8111 variety. Based on morphological characteristics linked to the growth and development of the aboveground and root systems of the genotypes, their phenotypic correlations were estimated, along with the genetic diversity among genotypes, using Tocher's optimisation method and the unweighted peer group method with arithmetic mean. Genotypes A1, P2, Z39, Ouro Negro, Tardio C, Cheique, and Z29 exhibited a higher Dickson quality index (between 0.40 and 0.56). Genetic variability exists among the seedlings of the 34 genotypes of Conilon coffee studied. The most dissimilar genotypes were CHR, 18, and Z39, which remained in isolated groups in all experiments.Keywords: Coffea canephora; Genetic diversity; Variability; Vegetative propagation; Phenotypic correlation.

“…Thus, clustering techniques and principal component analyses can help guide the selection of genotypes that are better suited to a growing region. In genetic breeding, studies on gain prediction by selection strategy provide a more efficient orientation to breeding programs and the choices of alternatives and more effective techniques based on scientific evidence (Oliveira et al, 2011).…”
ABSTRACT. For the selection of coffee plants that have favorable characteristics, it is necessary to evaluate variables related to production. Knowledge of the genetic divergence of arabica coffee is of extreme importance, as this knowledge can be associated with plant breeding programs in order to combine genetic divergence with good productive performance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic divergence among 16 genotypes of Coffea arabica with the purpose of identifying the most dissimilar genotypes for the establishment of breeding programs and adaptation to the Brazilian cerrado. The genetic divergence was evaluated using multivariate procedures, the analysis of the average grouping unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) and main components in 2013 and 2014. Eight characters were evaluated in an experiment conducted in Morrinhos, Goiás. The presence of genetic divergence among the 16 C. arabica genotypes under cerrado conditions was recorded. The formation of UPGMA groups for the evaluated characteristics was pertinent due to the number of genotypes. The first three major components accounted for 81.77% of the total variance. The genotype H-419-3-4-4-13(C-241) of low size was the most divergent, followed by Catucaí 2 SL and Catiguá MG2, according to the main components.
“…Characteristics such as the number of reproductive nodes, number of leaves, leaf area, specific leaf area, chlorophyll content and area, and mass ratios have been previously used in biometric studies of diversity among genotypes of Arabica coffee and showed high genetic variability in some of these traits (Rodrigues et al, 2014a). Oliveira et al (2011) also observed a considerable genetic variability among genotypes of Arabica coffee, which was enough to allow selection gains based on crop yield, both using the first high harvest only and the mean of the first four harvests.…”
ABSTRACT. The present study was developed to respond to the need for an increase in crop yield in the mountain region of Caparaó (southern Espírito Santo State, Brazil), an area of traditional coffee production. This study aimed to analyze the diversity and characterize the crop yield of genotypes of Coffea arabica L. with potential for cultivation in high plant density systems. In addition, it also aimed to quantify the expression of agronomic traits in this cultivation system and provide information on the genotypes with the highest cultivation potential in the studied region. The experiment followed a randomized block design with 16 genotypes, four repetitions, and six plants per experimental plot. Plant spacing was 2.00 x 0.60 m, with a total of 8333 plants per hectare, representing a high-density cultivation system. Coffee plants were cultivated until the start of their reproductive phenological cycles and were evaluated along four complete reproductive cycles. Genotypes with high crop yield and beverage quality, short canopy, and rust resistance were selected. C. arabica genotypes showed variability in almost all characteristics. It was possible to identify different responses among genotypes grown in a high plant density cultivation system. Although the chlorophyll a content was similar among genotypes, the genotypes Acauã, Araponga MG1, Sacramento MG1, Tupi, and Catuaí IAC 44 showed a higher chlorophyll b content than the other genotypes. Among these, Sacramento MG1 also showed high leafiness and growth of vegetative structures, whereas Araponga MG1, Pau-Brasil MG1, and Tupi showed high fruit production. In addition, Araponga MG1 had also a higher and more stable crop yield over the years.
