Abstract:Adaptation to several environmental conditions is a challenge for breeders for producing new varieties. Breeders select genotypes which show higher performance according to desired traits compared to the average of a large segregant population. In several crops, the selection index is mainly based on traits such as yield, quality, adequate plant architecture, etc. Therefore, multi-trait selection allows for the identification of genotypes that integrally exhibit a better profile and stability, in addition to t… Show more
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.
