RESUMOApesar de o Brasil se destacar como um dos principais produtores mundiais de mamão, ainda existe um reduzido número de linhagens/híbridos disponíveis para comercialização. O presente trabalho objetivou selecionar linhagens entre e dentro de progênies em uma população segregante de mamoeiro para avanço das autofecundações. Originalmente a população foi desenvolvida via retrocruzamento objetivando a incorporação (característica Golden) para tolerância à mancha fisiológica nos genitores do híbrido UENF/CALIMAN01, motivo pelo qual foi utilizado um índice de seleção denominado IG2 amparado nos valores genotípicos individuais obtidos via modelos mistos, pelo procedimento REML/BLUP. O resultado da análise permitiu selecionar oito progênies que segregaram para a característica "tipo Golden": 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 19, 18 e 12; dentro das progênies as plantas apresentaram valores superiores de ganho e média predita em relação às testemunhas (JS12, SS72/12 e Golden) para as seguintes características: altura de inserção do primeiro fruto, firmeza da polpa e do fruto e produção. Foram selecionadas 20 plantas com a característica "tipo Golden" visando ao avanço de geração de autofecundação e retrocruzamento. Palavras-chave:Carica papaya L., índice de seleção, REML/BLUP Mixed model for combining selection in segregate progeny of papaya ABSTRACT Although Brazil stands out as a leading global producer of papaya still exists a small number of lines/hybrids available for its cultivation. To obtain new cultivars it is necessary to direct efforts towards the identification and selection of superior genotypes and broadening the genetic basis of the species. This study aimed to select lines between and within families in a segregating population of papaya for advancement of self pollination and backcross. Originally the backcross population aimed the introgression of the physiological disturb (Golden type) into the UENF/CALIMAN01 genitors. For this a selection index named IG2 was used supported in individual genotypic values obtained through mixed models by REML/BLUP. Analysis of results permitted selection of eight progenies and segregated for the trait "Golden Type": 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 18 and 12. The selected genotypes within each progeny showed higher values of gain and predicted average than the controls (JS12, SS72/12 and Golden) for the following characteristics: height of insertion of the first fruit, firmness of fruit and production. Twenty plants e selected with the characteristic "Golden Type" for the advancement of generation of selfing and backcross.

RESUMO -O mamoeiro vem tornando-se uma das principais fruteiras cultivadas no Brasil dado ao grande mercado interno e ao crescente mercado de exportação. A demanda pela fruta fez crescer, nos últimos anos, as áreas de cultivo que lentamente se direcionam ao semiárido, e, com isso, cresce a necessidade de novas variedades melhoradas para o cultivo. Neste sentido, foram gerados híbridos de mamão pertencentes aos dois grupos heteróticos: Solo e Formosa, estes, avaliados consecutivamente ao longo do ciclo da cultura, tanto em um ambiente tradicional de cultivo como em um ambiente recente para a cultura, o semiárido. Foram identificados híbridos que superam as testemunhas em quase o dobro no aspecto de rendimento, tanto no grupo de híbridos pertences à categoria Solo (UC14, UC15 e UC16) quanto à categoria Formosa (UC10 e UC12). Estes, além de elevado rendimento, foram detentores de características favoráveis, como o elevado teor de sólidos solúveis e o baixo número de flores estéreis. Em adição, o coeficiente de repetibilidade das características avaliadas sugere que, dentre as características ligadas ao rendimento, o peso médio de fruto é a mais estável ao longo do ciclo de produção. Termos para indexação: Carica papaya L., repetibilidade, 'Solo', 'Formosa'. NEW HYBRIDS OF PAPAYA EVALUATED IN THE TRADITIONAL REGION FOR CROP AND IN THE BRAZILIAN SEMIARIDABSTRACT -Papaya tree has become a major fruit crops cultivated in Brazil given the large domestic market and the growing export market. The demand for fruit has increased in recent years the croplands that was slowly directed to the semiarid, and with it, the need for new improved varieties and hybrids for crops. In this regard, new papaya hybrids were generated belonging to the two heterotic groups: Solo and Formosa, these measured consecutively throughout the crop cycle in both, the traditional crop environment as in the recent environment for crop, the semiarid. It was identified hybrids that exceed the witnesses at nearly twice the aspect in terms of performance both in the group of hybrids belonging to the Solo category (UC14, UC15 and UC16) as in Formosa category (UC 10 and UC12). These, along high yield have favorable characteristics such as high soluble solids and low number of sterile flowers. In addition, the coefficient of repeatability of the evaluated characteristics suggests that among the traits related with yield, the average fruit weight is the most stable throughout the production cycle.

ABSTRACT. The genus Theobroma found in the Amazon region is composed of 22 species, including Theobroma speciosum, better known as cacauí. These species are constantly threatened by forest fragmentation caused by human activities and require conservation strategies and management aimed at preserving them in their natural environments. The main objective of this study was to analyze the population structure and genetic diversity within and between natural populations of T. speciosum by using ISSR molecular markers to understand the population structure of the species. Four natural populations belonging to the Amazon rainforest (BAC, CRO, FLA, and PNA), located in the State of Mato Grosso, were selected. Amplification reactions were performed using 15 ISSR primers. A total of 101 loci 3511 Genetic diversity in Theobroma speciosum©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 13 (2): 3510-3519 (2014) were found, of which 54.46% were polymorphic at the species level. The BAC population showed higher genetic diversity (H = 0.095 and I = 0.144) and higher percentage of polymorphism (28.71%). The populations showed an F ST value of 0.604, indicating marked genetic differentiation. The highest genetic variation was found between populations. Gene flow was low between populations, indicating genetic isolation between populations.

ABSTRACT. The genus Theobroma, recently reclassified in the family Malvaceae, comprises some species with high economic potential, including the cupuí, Theobroma subincanum Mart., which has not yet been domesticated, and whose genetics and population structure are mostly unknown. This study aimed to assess the population structure and genetic diversity in natural populations of T. subincanum Mart., using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. A total of 59 individuals were sampled in three geographically separate populations, CFA, CMN, and CPT. Nei's genetic distance was estimated to characterize populations with the use of 13 polymorphic primers. The analysis of 4999 ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 12 (4): 4998-5006 (2013) Genetic diversity in Theobroma subincana Mart. molecular variance revealed that the variability between populations (51.71%) was higher than that within populations (48.29%). Among the three populations, CPT showed the highest diversity index and percentage of polymorphism. The ISSR molecular markers were efficient and presented sufficient polymorphism to estimate genetic diversity in populations of T. subincanum Mart.
