Sample size for family evaluation in potato breeding programs

Abstract: Clonal families from a broad genetic base population in the Potato Breeding Program at the Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA), Brazil, were used in this trials. Twenty-five families were assessed in a 5 x 5 triple lattice design. Each plot consisted of 30 clones distributed in three rows of ten plants. Tuber yield per plant, percentage of large tubers, mean weight of large tubers, mean medium-sized tuber weight and tuber specific gravity were measured. Three hundred experiments were simulated varying the fa… Show more

“…This procedure has been inefficient in potato breeding, especially in the initial phases of the program (Brown et al 1987, Gopal andMinochoa 1997) when there are a small number of tubers of each clone for planting experiments with replications. In addition, the magnitude of the heritabilities among families has been greater than among individual clones (Bradshaw et al 1998, Diniz et al 2006, suggesting that family selection could more effectively contribute to selection gains in the initial stages of the breeding program. The greater heritability for various traits among families is due to the lesser effect of the environment among mean values of families than among individuals of the same family (Simmonds 1996, Gopal 1997, Simon et al 2009).…”

“…Esse procedimento é conhecido como seleção clonal, que consiste simplesmente na identificação dos melhores indivíduos da população. A seleção clonal tem-se mostrado pouco eficiente devido à quantidade limitada de material propagativo nas gerações iniciais e aos experimentos serem conduzidos sem repetição, resultando em baixa precisão na avaliação (Diniz et al, 2006). Alternativa para a seleção clonal é a seleção de famílias, que consiste em identificar as famílias superiores, onde provavelmente estão os clones mais promissores.…”

“…Famílias com baixo desempenho são completamente eliminadas e nenhum de seus clones é avaliado nas gerações mais avançadas (Diniz et al, 2006). Sabe-se que em batata, assim como na maioria das culturas, a variância genética dentro de famílias é maior que a variância entre famílias, para os caracteres agronômicos (Bradshaw et al, 1998;Diniz et al, 2006;Gopal, 2001;Melo et al, 2011), indicando que é dentro das melhores famílias que se alcança grande potencial de seleção.…”
