Item Prediction of selection gains in Coffea canephora based on factorial scores(Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2004) Ferreira, Adésio; Cecon, Paulo Roberto; Cruz, Cosme Damião; Ferrão, Romário Gava; Silva, Marcia Flores da; Fonseca, Aymbiré Francisco Almeida da; Ferrão, Maria Amélia GavaThe technique of factor analysis in the simultaneous selection of traits and prediction of genetic gains was evaluated in Coffea canephora var. conilon. Fourteen traits in 40 assessed genotypes were evaluated at two sites. The technique was used aiming at the structuring and simplification of the data, without information loss and with biological interpretation. The experimental design was of randomized blocks in four replications, each plot containing two useful plants. The technique was efficient for the data simplification and structuring. Moreover, the estimates of the predicted gains in the traits involved in the factors showed magnitude near the direct selection gain, attesting the suitability of the technique and its use in improvement programs of the species.Item Inter-trait relations for direct and indirect selection in coffee(Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2008-06-09) Ferrão, Romário Gava; Ferreira, Adésio; Cruz, Cosme Damião; Cecon, Paulo Roberto; Ferrão, Maria Amélia Gava; Fonseca, Aymbiré Francisco Almeida da; Carneiro, Pedro Crescêncio de Souza; Silva, Marcia Flores daThe purpose of this study was to verify the possibility of using direct selection in nine traits underlying indirect selection for yield and determine which traits should participate in the selection process. Data of 40 Conilon coffee genotypes were analyzed in two experiments in the growing seasons of 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 in random blocks with four and six replications. The significance of phenotypic associations was evaluated by the t test and the genotypic and environmental associations by bootstrap resampling. The genotypic associations were higher than the phenotypic, indicating a prevailing influence of the genotypic over the environmental effects in the relationship between significant traits; equal signs indicated a lack of contrary action among the effects. The traits related to cycle; yield; ratio of fresh ripe cherries to clean coffee; empty or flat grains; and sieve 17 should be maintained in the selection, evaluation and study of genetic divergence. The estimated gains in grain yield by indirect selection for any trait studied are not satisfactory.
