INTRODUCTION
Diversity and genetic parameter estimates for yield and its components in Jatropha curcas L.
, “Diversity and genetic parameter estimates for yield and its components in Jatropha curcas L.”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
Jatropha curcas L. is one of the most promising oilseeds for biodiesel and biokerosene production, but few basic studies or breeding programs have been conducted for the species. We estimated genetic parameters and diversity based on 10 yield traits in 77 half-sib progenies of J. curcas after 52 months in the field, and evaluated correlations between them and the oil content of the seeds. The mean grain yield per plant was 377.9 g (ranging from 169.8 to 772.1 g) and the mean oil content was 36.2% (ranging from 30 to 39.6%).
Evaluation of soybean lines and environmental stratification using the AMMI, GGE biplot, and factor analysis methods

In the final phases of new soybean cultivar development, lines are cultivated in several locations across multiple seasons with the intention of identifying and selecting superior genotypes for quantitative traits.
Adaptability and stability of soybean genotypes in off-season cultivation
, “Adaptability and stability of soybean genotypes in off-season cultivation”, vol. 14, pp. 9633-9645, 2015.
The oil and protein contents of soybean grains are important quantitative traits for use in breeding. However, few breeding programs perform selection based on these traits in different environments. This study assessed the adaptability and stability of 14 elite early soybean breeding lines in off-season cultivation with respect to yield, and oil and protein contents.
Indirect selection for resistance to ear rot and leaf diseases in maize lines using biplots
, “Indirect selection for resistance to ear rot and leaf diseases in maize lines using biplots”, vol. 14, pp. 11052-11062, 2015.
Leaf disease and ear rot have caused reductions in maize yield in Brazil and other producer countries. Therefore, the aims of this study were to analyze the association between husked ear yield and the severity of maize white spot, gray leaf spot, helminthosporium, and ear rot caused by Fusarium verticillioides and Diplodia maydis using biplots in a mixed-model approach. The responses of 238 lines introduced to Brazil and four controls were evaluated using an incomplete block design with three replicates in two locations: Lavras and Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
