“…The most significant increases in recent decades can be ascribed to breeding (Ramalho et al 2012). This reflects the intensified activity of research institutions in Brazil focused on common bean breeding, involving different areas of knowledge (genetics, statistics, plant pathology, entomology, biotechnology, and others).…”

“…In some Brazilian States, yield exceeds 2,500 kg ha -1 (Conab 2015). According to Ramalho et al (2012) and Carbonell et al (2012), progress in grain yield, as well as in technological and nutritional quality, is greatly attributed to genetic breeding.…”

The increase in grain yield and other agronomic traits, in common bean cultivars, is due, in large part, to its genetic breeding. This study aimed at estimating the genetic progress for grain yield and other important agronomic traits in black common bean cultivars recommended by Brazilian breeding programs between 1960 and 2013. A randomized blocks design was used, with three replications and 40 black common bean cultivars. The following traits were evaluated: grain yield and appearance, plant architecture, number of pods per plant and seeds per pod and 1,000-seed weight. The genetic progress was estimated from the trait averages over the years, using bissegmented linear regression models that allowed the inference of the exact year in which the black common bean breeding began to present significant genetic progress. For grain yield, the genetic progress was observed from 1988, with an annual gain of 2.42 %. Improvements also occurred to grain appearance (1.85 %), plant architecture (1.35 %), number of pods per plant (2.36 %) and seeds per pod (2.24 %) and 1,000-seed weight (1.42 %), mainly after 1989.

“…Sugarcane genetic breeding has become a decisive factor in sugar alcohol industry development in Brazil, with considerable selection gains over the years and regular release of new cultivars (Barbosa et al 2012, Ramalho et al 2012, Daros 2014, Iaia et al 2014, Carneiro et al 2015.…”
