Abstract
The development of mini lettuce genotypes with good agronomic characteristics are fundamental to launch new cultivars. Thus, the objective was to compare the variability of biofortified mini lettuce genotypes by analyzing its principal components and hierarchical clusters and evaluate different selection indices to estimate selection gain. The experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Uberlândia in a randomized block design implemented with 11 treatments (10 genotypes of mini lettuce generation F5:6 and one mini lettuce commercial cultivar) and four repetitions. The following variables were evaluated: chlorophyll content (SPAD índex), stem diameter and length, plant diameter and height, number of leaves per plant, fresh mass of the aerial part, and bolting tolerance. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and genotypes were compared using the Scott-Knott test (P≤0.05). Additionally, principal components, hierarchical clusters, and correlation were evaluated (P≤0.05). The best genotypes were chosen by appropriate direct and indirect selection and the main indices: William’s index, selection index from Smith and Hazel, and Mulamba y Mock index. There were five groups and a significant negative correlation of all agronomic characteristics evaluated with resistance to bolting, except stem length. William’s index provided a balanced distribution of genetic gains by selecting the genotypes UFU 66#8, UFU 215#2, UFU 215#7 and UFU 215#13.

期刊介绍:
Bioagro es una revista científica del Decanato de Agronomía de la Universidad Centroccidental “Lisandro Alvarado” (UCLA). Su periodicidad es cuatrimestral y se publica en los meses de enero, mayo y septiembre. Cada trabajo es revisado por al menos dos especialistas en el área, externos a la revista, de cuya opinión depende la aceptación definitiva. Se utiliza sistema de arbitraje doble ciego.
La revista va dirigida, fundamental pero no exclusivamente, a profesionales y técnicos del área agrícola. Su objetivo es publicar trabajos científicos originales e inéditos en ciencias agrícolas que enfoquen aspectos de agronomía, botánica y propagación de plantas, entomología y zoología, suelos, fitopatología y protección vegetal, ingeniería agrícola, genética y mejoramiento de plantas, ecología, procesamiento de productos agrícolas, biotecnología y sociales. También pueden ser publicados artículos cortos en los que se presenten descubrimientos científicos, desarrollos tecnológicos y resultados de diagnósticos integrales, en la modalidad de Notas Técnicas.
En Venezuela, se encuentra en las bibliotecas de todas las universidades e institutos de educación superior que ofrecen carreras agronómicas, así como de los entes oficiales de investigación agropecuaria. En el exterior, la revista llega a universidades y/o institutos de investigación agrícolas de todos los países de América Latina así como Estados Unidos, Canadá y España.
