Genetic Variability in Inbred Guava Families Mediated by Agronomic Traits

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the existing diversity among genotypes from inbred guava families obtained from a breeding program. To characterize the 61 genotypes, 51 descriptors were evaluated, including 15 quantitative, 16 qualitative, and 20 seed descriptors obtained digitally using the Graundeye ® image analysis system. Based on the quantitative, qualitative, and seed descriptors, the Ward-MLM strategy was employed and was efficient in detecting divergence among guava genotypes using qualitative an… Show more

“…According to Arevalo et al (2021), if the first two canonical variables allow estimates above 80% of the total variation, it is possible to satisfactorily explain the variability between genotypes in a two-dimensional dispersion plot. Similar results were found by Fachi et al (2019) and Krause et al (2021), in which the first two canonical variables also explained 100% of the total variation.…”

“…The results from the present investigation support the view that morphology and chemical composition in fruits can be utilized efficiently for cultivar discrimination and estimating the genetic relationships in the diverse groups of guava germplasm. These results, which follow those of earlier research, show that both quantitative and qualitative traits are essential for cultivar identification and evaluation in guava germplasm for traits like fruit dots, puffiness, texture, surface, cavity, pulp taste, etc., which are of interest to taxonomists or breeders (17,32). Similarly, quality traits are the most important factor in attracting consumers and farmers.…”

“…and breeder-preferred traits (photosensitivity, pest and disease resistance, etc.). A qualitative technique has been used by (17) for evaluating the fruit diameter of the calyx cavity relative to fruit diameter, skin color, pulp color, and surface texture traits. Similarly, researchers worked on different qualitative traits (18,19).…”

“…Despite this, the success of the selection does not depend solely on genetic variability, but rather on the ability of maintaining and fixing the desirable agronomic traits in the genotypes under consideration. As such, achieving inbred families proves to be effective in this regard, in which it becomes possible the allele fixation of the agronomic traits of interest and the obtaining of plants with high yield, earliness, and homogeneity within the families, thereby providing selection success with the generation progress of guava trees under inbreeding (KRAUSE et al, 2017;KRAUSE et al, 2021;AMBRÓSIO et al, 2021).…”
