The objective was to assess by simulation the efficacy of population structure analysis in plant
breeding. Twelve populations and 300 inbred lines were simulated and genotyped using …

An important application of genomic selection in plant breeding is predicting untested single
crosses (SCs). Most investigations on the prediction efficiency were based on tested SCs …

The efficiency of quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping methods needs to be investigated
assuming high single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) density and low heritability QTLs. This …

Reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) has been successfully applied to maize breeding for
more than 60 years. Our objective was to assess the relative efficiency of the genotypic value …

The objectives of this study were to assess linkage disequilibrium (LD) and selection-induced
changes in single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency, and to perform association …

Popcorn inbred lines with more efficient nitrogen use are better able to uptake nitrogen from
the soil and convert it into higher grain yield, resulting in lower environmental and economic …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with plant species have employed inbred lines
panels. We evaluated the efficiency of GWAS in non-inbred and inbred populations and …

Studies on tropical popcorn (Zea mays L. ssp. mays) gene pools are still scarce. The
objective of this study was to infer tropical popcorn gene pools by employing molecular and …

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of pedigree, historical data, dominance,
and data unbalance on the estimation and precision of genetic variances and breeding …

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram estimar os parâmetros de adaptabilidade e estabilidade
em populações de milho-pipoca relacionadas por ciclos de seleção, inferir sobre a eficiência …
