Abstract:In breeding programs, obtaining breeding lines was important, and first selfing selection generations is common. In addition, an analytic approach through mixed models can lead to more success in genotype selection because it lends flexibility in analysis of unbalanced data and provides more precise genotypic values in regard to progenies evaluated. The goal of this study was to make early selection (in the S 2 generation) of progenies evaluated in top crosses, using a mixed-model approach. Five hundred S 2 pr… Show more
