Under global climate changes, understanding climate variables that are most associated
with environmental kinships can contribute to improving the success of hybrid selection …

Introduction Sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani is one of the major diseases of rice,
causing widespread crop losses. The use of semi-dwarf rice varieties in the ongoing nutrient …

High salinity levels affect 20% of the cultivated area and 9%–34% of the irrigated agricultural
land worldwide, ultimately leading to yield losses of crops. The current study evaluated …

The immediate need for the increase in wheat production to meet the future world demand,
associated with the occurrence of drastic climatic events, such as drought, makes it …

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a climate‐resilient cereal crop widely grown
in arid and semiarid environments and an important crop for food, fodder, and nutritional …

Recurrent selection is an effective breeding method for improving complex traits in wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) breeding. In this study, we propose a genitor selection strategy …

High-throughput phenotyping (HTP) approaches are potentially useful for designing indirect
selection strategies, which consists in the selection of a primary target trait X based on …

The selection of parents to originate promising base populations, as well as the knowledge
of the gene effects controlling agronomic traits by means of diallel, are useful to drive genetic …

The objective of this work was to select black oat genotypes using the MGIDI for
simultaneous selection, comparing it with the Smith-Hazel index. The experiment was …

In many cases, traditional analysis of breeding trials based on analysis of variance (ANOVA)
do not allow a suitable genetic evaluation. Alternatively, mixed model-based approaches …
