Abstract
Twenty-nine arracacha clones were evaluated in 2002/2003, at the Horticultural Research Garden of the Federal University of Vicosa. A randomized complete block design with 30 treatments and three replications was used. Each plot contained 75 plants in three 10 m long rows (rows spaced 1 m apart and plants 0.40 m). Six competitive plants were picked eight months after planting. Sprouts were collected from the remaining plants eleven and a half months after planting. Ten quantitative and four qualitative traits were evaluated. Variance analyses showed significance of all but one quantitative trait (non-commercial root weight). Genetic distances were estimated by Mahalanobis' generalized distance and clones grouped by clustering, applied to quantitative traits. Our goal was to identify early high yielding, healthy, and genetically diverging clones. Clones BGH 4550, BGH 5742, and BGH 6425 seemed to be promising future varieties, and 10 clones are interesting for further breeding work.
期刊介绍:
The CBAB – CROP BREEDING AND APPLIED BIOTECHNOLOGY (ISSN 1984-7033) – is the official quarterly journal of the Brazilian Society of Plant Breeding, abbreviated CROP BREED APPL BIOTECHNOL.
It publishes original scientific articles, which contribute to the scientific and technological development of plant breeding and agriculture. Articles should be to do with basic and applied research on improvement of perennial and annual plants, within the fields of genetics, conservation of germplasm, biotechnology, genomics, cytogenetics, experimental statistics, seeds, food quality, biotic and abiotic stress, and correlated areas. The article must be unpublished. Simultaneous submitting to another periodical is ruled out. Authors are held solely responsible for the opinions and ideas expressed, which do not necessarily reflect the view of the Editorial board. However, the Editorial board reserves the right to suggest or ask for any modifications required. The journal adopts the Ithenticate software for identification of plagiarism.
