Abstract
This study aimed to estimate the repeatability coefficient of the grain yield in Coffea canephora by three methods: to quantify the precision of the measurements; to predict the real value of an individual based on n evaluations; and to determine the number of phenotypic measures required in each plant to obtain an adequate precision level for an efficient discrimination of the genotypes. The coefficients of repeatability and determination were estimated based on four harvests of 80 genotypes. Highest estimates of the repeatability coefficient were obtained by the method of the principal components derived from the matrix of covariances, which expresses the correlation between each measurement pair. The prediction precision of the real individual value ranged from 65.32 to 81.59%, and remained practically unchanged from the sixth harvest on.
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 The article must be unpublished.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.
