Breeding self-pollinated plants

Melhoramento de plantas autógamas

This presentation aims to discuss strategies to increase the efficiency of selection in self-pollinated plants. One of the strategies is the use of mixed models in order to appropriate genealogy information on the method of pedigree and through the sequential analysis in evaluation tests of progeny in several environments/generation. It is also discussed the use of multiline as an alternative to extend the life of a cultivar.
