“…REML/BLUP analyses have been increasingly used in plant breeding, especially with perennial crops. From this perspective, many studies have been carried out to improve forest species, e.g., rubber (Kalil et al 2000) and eucalyptus (Rocha et al 2006), species that produce essential stimulant foods, e.g., coffee (Petek et al 2008), and various fruit species, including acerola (Paiva et al 2002), cupuaçu (Alves and Resende 2008), papaya (Oliveira et al 2012), açaí (Teixeira et al 2012, passion fruit (Santos et al 2015), mango (Arriel et al 2016), guava (Dos Santos et al 2017), soursop (Sanchéz et al 2017), and grapevine ( Da Silva Sales et al 2019).…”
