Item Genetic determination of characteristics related to semi-mechanized coffee harvests(Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2020) Dias, Rodrigo Elias Batista Almeida; Dias, Rafael Antônio Almeida; Botelho, César Elias; Abrahão, Juliana Costa de Rezende; Rezende, Tiago Teruel; Carvalho, Gladyston RodriguesBrazilian coffee cultivation was boosted over the last few decades by the mechanization of various field operations. Considering the influence of genetic factors on coffee harvesting efficiency, we aimed to evaluate the use of mechanized harvesting characteristics as a criterion to select progenies derived from ‘Icatu’ germplasm, previously evaluated for agronomic characteristics, resistance to rust and cercosporiosis. We also investigated genotypic and phenotypic correlations between semi-mechanized harvesting characteristics. Ten progenies of Coffea arabica L. were analyzed in two experimental farms during two consecutive harvests. Genetic parameters were evaluated to trace selection strategies. Four progenies that were suitable for mechanization were selected, supporting our hypothesis of the use of harvest characteristics as selection criteria.Item Prediction of genetic gains from selection in arabica coffee progenies(Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2011-06) Oliveira, Antonio Carlos Baião de; Pereira, Antonio Alves; Silva, Felipe Lopes da; Rezende, Juliana Costa de; Botelho, César Elias; Carvalho, Gladyston RodriguesGains from selection for yield were estimated in Arabica coffee progenies carrying rust-resistance genes. The experiment in augmented block design was installed in Três Pontas, state of Minas Gerais. Three blocks were established with six plants per plot, spaced 3.50 x 0.90 m, in 96 regular (F 2 progenies) and two control treatments. The plant response to rust was evaluated on a grade scale in 2008. Yield (bags per hectare) was estimated in the growing seasons 2005 to 2008. Significant differences between treatments for yield were observed in all harvests, except 2005. The presence of genetic variability among progenies allowed significant gain from selection for yield. Under the experimental conditions of this study, selection for yield can be performed in the first high-yield year, without major losses compared to genetic gain from selection for yield when based on the mean of four harvests.Item Prediction of genetic gains from selection in Arabica coffee progenies(Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2011-09-08) Oliveira, Antonio Carlos Baião de; Pereira, Antonio Alves; Silva, Felipe Lopes da; Rezende, Juliana Costa de; Botelho, César Elias; Carvalho, Gladyston RodriguesGains from selection for yield were estimated in Arabica coffee progenies carrying rust-resistance genes.

Aiming for the development of a cultivar adapted to these conditions, Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner clones were selected through genetic parameters under an irrigated system, without agrochemicals. Eighteen agronomic traits were evaluated. The survival rate, number of nodes per plagiotropic branch, leaf miner infestation and cercosporiosis incidence were chosen as characteristics for selection of ‘Vitória Incaper 8142’, once they have shown superiority of the genetic parameters. The survival rate variable was used to rank the EMCAPA 8141 Robustão Capixaba clones. Clones V2, V4, V6, V13, RC7, and RC9 were selected as more tolerant to pests and diseases and can provide genetic improvements in conilon breeding program for region. The genetic dissimilarity identified between clones allowed suitable clone combinations to be proposed for use in future crosses.
