Abstract: The objective of this work was to determine the genetic parameters and efficiency different selection indices for biofortified red leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. crispa) lines with agronomic nutritional potential. experiment carried out in a randomized complete block design three replicates 31 crisp-textured red-tinted genotypes: Belíssima cultivar, low carotenoid content rich anth...

ABSTRACT The success of breeding programs depends on genetic variability. Individuals selected based a few traits may be limitation. One alternative is the use nonparametric indices. However, there no information selection indices in melon germplasms. present study aimed to estimate dissimilarity germplasm and select potential parent plants for future programs. material consisted 37 accessions....

Defining selection criteria is important to obtain promising genotypes in a breeding program. The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for agronomic traits and to perform soybean line selection using selection indices. The experiment was conducted at an experimental area located at Capim Branco farm, belonging to the Federal University of Uberlândia. A total of 37 soybean ...

poikilothermic organisms is the restructuring of cellular membranes in response to changing environmental temperature. Many poikilotherms have been shown to adjust the compositions of their cellular membranes to preserve physical properties such as membrane fluidity within a relatively tight physiological range. One mechanism to achieve this is to increase the proportion of unsaturated fatty ac...
