Comparison of three tester parents in evaluating popcorn families derived from IAC-125

Comparação de três testadores na avaliação de famílias de milho pipoca derivadas de IAC-125

Estimation and classification of popping expansion capacity in popcorn breeding programs using NIR spectroscopy

“…Genetic variability was observed in the F2 and F2:3 generations (Table 1). The coefficient of environmental variation (CVe) reflected the precision of the phenotyping measurement performed in this study, and the confidence of the analyses agreed with those of other popcorn phenotyping studies (Guimarães et al, 2018;Miotto et al, 2016).…”

Combining ability effects and nature of gene action for grain yield and quality parameters in Pop corn (Zea mays var. everta)

“…al. 2018, Miotto et al (2016, Rajitha et al (2014) and Vijaya bharathi et al (2009) also reported similar findings.…”

Selection of S3 progenies of forage maize based on topcrosses with different testers

“…Rosa et al (2020) also reported the good performance of tester 70.H26.1 in exploring the genetic variability among forage maize progenies. In this context, the tester that provides the highest estimates of genetic variance among topcross hybrids is the most appropriate, allowing the expression of the genetic variability of the progenies and highlighting the ones with greatest genetic merit (Guimarães et al, 2012;Bolson, Scapim, Clovis, Amaral Junior, & Freitas, 2016;Miotto et al, 2016;Figueiredo et al, 2018).…”
