Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The dual purpose wheat has the capacity to produce forage and grain, through the expression of morphological and bromatologic traits and yield components. Thus, the overall goal was to identify biometric models to understand the interrelationships between traits, direct and indirect selection in breeding wheat for dual purposes. The specific objectives of this study were to determine the canonical correlations between groups of morphological traits and grain yield, and identify the direction and the magnitude of the relationship; and identify the phenotypic relationships of cause and effect bromatologic between forage characters in wheat genotypes under different dual purpose cutting managements. The experiments were conducted in the growing seasons 2013 and 2014 in the experimental area of the Federal University of Santa Maria Campus Frederico Westphalen - RS. A randomized complete block design was used in three trials, the first experiment was arranged in a factorial: five genotypes (BRS Tarumã, BRS Umbu, BRS Figueira, BRS Guatambu and BRS 277) x four cutting managements (uncut, a cut, two cuts and three cuts). The second experiment was arranged in a factorial: Five genotypes (BRS Tarumã, BRS Umbu, BRS Figueira, BRS Guatambu and BRS 277) x Three cutting managements (first cut, second cut and third cut). The traits evaluated were: number of tillers per plant (AF), stem diameter of tillers (DAF), diameter of the main stem (DCP), number of fertile tillers (AFF), number of ears per square meter (ESPM), number of grains per ear (NGE), grain weight per ear (MGE), thousand grain weight (MMG), grain yield (RG), weight hectolitre (PH), green matter per hectare (MV), dry matter per hectare (MS), percentage of hemicellulose (HEM), cellulose (CEL), mineral matter (MM), neutral detergent fiber (FDN), acid detergent fiber (FDA), lignin (LIG), total carbohydrates (CT), carbohydrates no fiber carbohydrates (CNF), crude protein (PTN), and lipids (LIP). Groups of morphological traits and grain yield in wheat dual purpose reveal highly significant relationships. In the management at uncut and one cut wheat, associations are similarly established for both groups, by increasing the DCP, and determining the ESPM the increase, NGE and MGE, MMG, PH and RG. With two cuts the associations are established through the DAF, which influences an increase in MMG, PH and RG. Three cuts showed that the increase in AF increment the ESPM, NGE and MGE, MMG, PH and RG. The indirect selection aimed at increasing the PTN in the first cut can be based on CT, CNF and MV. The second cut provides indirect selection with LIG, CNF, MV and MS. The increase of PTN in the third cut can be obtained by indirect selection to the FDA, CEL, LIG, MM, MV and MS. Indirect selection through forage characters and bromatologic can be successful, since it considers the effect assigned to each cutting management. / O trigo duplo propósito apresenta capacidade de produzir forragem e grãos, através da expressão de caracteres morfológicos, bromatológicos e componentes do rendimento. Desta maneira, o objetivo geral foi identificar modelos biométricos que permitam compreender as inter-relações entre caracteres, e direcionar a seleção indireta no melhoramento genético de trigo duplo propósito. Os objetivos específicos deste trabalho foram: determinar as correlações canônicas entre grupos de caracteres morfológicos e do rendimento de grãos, e identificar o sentido e a magnitude das relações; e identificar as associações fenotípicas de causa e efeito entre caracteres forrageiros e bromatológicos em genótipos de trigo duplo propósito submetidos a diferentes manejos de corte.Os experimentos foram realizados nas safras agrícolas 2013 e 2014 na área experimental da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria Campus de Frederico Westphalen RS. Utilizou-se o delineamento de blocos ao acaso em três repetições, o primeiro experimento foi organizado em fatorial: Cinco genótipos (BRS Tarumã, BRS Umbu, BRS Figueira, BRS Guatambu e BRS 277) x Quatro manejos de corte (sem corte, um corte, dois cortes e três cortes). O segundo experimento foi organizado em fatorial: Cinco genótipos (BRS Tarumã, BRS Umbu, BRS Figueira, BRS Guatambu e BRS 277) x Três manejos de corte (primeiro corte, segundo corte e terceiro corte). Os caracteres avaliados foram: número de afilhos por planta (AF), diâmetro do colmo dos afilhos (DAF), diâmetro do colmo principal (DCP), número de afilhos férteis (AFF), número de espigas por metro quadrado (ESPM), número de grãos por espiga (NGE), massa de grãos por espiga (MGE), massa de mil grãos (MMG), rendimento de grãos (RG), peso hectolitro (PH), massa verde por hectare (MV), massa seca por hectare (MS), percentual de hemicelulose (HEM), celulose (CEL), material mineral (MM), fibras em detergente neutro (FDN), fibras em detergente ácido (FDA), lignina (LIG), carboidratos totais (CT), carboidratos não fibrosos (CNF), proteína bruta (PTN), e lipídios (LIP). Os grupos de caracteres morfológicos e de rendimento de grãos em trigo duplo propósito revelam relações altamente significativas. No manejo sem cortes e com um corte, associações são estabelecidas similarmente para ambos os grupos, através do aumento do DCP, sendo determinante ao acréscimo de ESPM, NGE e MGE, MMG, PH e RG. Com dois cortes as associações são estabelecidas através do DAF, que influencia o aumento da MMG, PH e RG. Com três cortes evidencia-se que o aumento do AF incrementam ESPM,NGE e MGE, MMG, PH e RG.A seleção indireta visando incrementar PTN no primeiro corte pode ser baseada nos CT,CNF e MV. O segundo corte proporciona a seleção indireta com a LIG, CNF, MV e MS. O incremento de PTN no terceiro corte poderá ser obtido através da seleção indireta com FDA, CEL, LIG, MM, MV e MS. A seleção indireta através dos caracteres forrageiros e bromatológicos pode ser realizada com sucesso, desde que se considere o efeito atribuído a cada manejo de corte.

Im Rahmen der Biogasgewinnung in Deutschland wurde Mais schnell zum beliebtesten Substrat für den Einsatz in Biogasanlagen. Die damit verbundene, rasante Steigerung der Maisanbaufläche wurde mit Einführung des „Maisdeckels“ (EEG 2012, § 27) vorerst gestoppt. Dieser begrenzt die Nutzung von Mais und Getreidekorn als Substrat in Biogasanlagen (mit Inbetriebnahme nach 1.1.2012) bei 60 % sofern ein Anspruch auf Förderung bestehen soll. Dennoch ist die Akzeptanz des Maisanbaus in der Öffentlichkeit stark gesunken und wird unter dem Begriff „Vermaisung“ mit einer Vielzahl negativer Aspekte diskutiert. Hierzu gehören neben ökologische Folgen, wie Biodiversitätsverlust und Grünlandumbrüchen auch ökonomische wie eine Erhöhung der Pachtpreise und ethische Argumente wie der „Teller oder Tank“ Konflikt. Um zukünftig sowohl ökonomischen als auch ökologischen Ansprüchen zu genügen, bietet der Maisanbau mit Stangenbohnen in Mischkultur eine interessante Alternative. Die Stangenbohnen bieten eine Nahrungsquelle für Bestäuberinsekten und das Potential die Stickstoffdüngung in der Mischkultur zu reduzieren. Zur Nahrungsmittelproduktion ist dieses System in den Tropen weit verbreitet und auch in Deutschland konnte es auf Anhieb in Vorversuchen zur Biomasseproduktion sehr hohe Erträge erzielen. Die vielversprechenden ersten Erfahrungen führen zu der Frage, ob spezielle Maisgenotypen und –zuchtprogramme sinnvoll sind, welche die Erträge weiter steigern können, oder ob die gängigen Maissorten geeignet sind. Hierzu wurden zunächst 2012 180 Testhybriden (90 Flintlinien mit einem Denttester sowie 90 Dentlinien mit einem Flinttester) sowohl im Reinanbau (10 Maispflanzen /m²) als auch in Mischkultur (7,5 Maispflanzen/m²) mit der Stangenbohnensorte „Neckarkönigin“ (7,5 Bohnenpflanzen/m²) an drei Standorten (Göttingen, Einbeck, Grucking) angebaut, von denen lediglich Einbeck auswertbar war. Aufgrund der Gesamttrockenmasseleistung ihrer Testkreuzungen wurden für jedes Anbausystem die besten 20 Flint- und 20 Dentlinien selektiert. Die Bohnenertragsanteile lagen auf Grund der Frühreife der „Neckarkönigin“ bei durchschnittlich nur 5 % und resultierten in der Aufnahme der Bohnensorten „Bobis a grano nero“ und „Anellino verde“ in die Versuche der Mischkultur im folgenden Jahr. Die selektierten Maislinien wurden im Winterzuchtgarten erneut mit einem Tester des anderen Genpools gekreuzt und 2013 in dem Anbausystem angebaut, in dem sie im Vorjahr selektiert wurden. Der Anbau erfolge an drei Standorten (Göttingen, Einbeck, Eutingen). Auf Grund der schlechten Frühjahrswitterung konnten nur die Versuche in Göttingen und Einbeck auswertet werden. Die Bohnenertragsanteile 2013 lagen bei durchschnittlich nur 2 %, jedoch konnte sich „Anellino verde“ durch eine ausgeprägte Spätreife auszeichnen. Aus den 20 Testhybriden je Genpool und Anbausystem wurden die besten 5 Flint- bzw. Dentlinien je Anbausystem selektiert. Bei den Flintlinien aus der Mischkultur wurde aus versuchstechnischen Gründen nur 4 Linien selektiert. Im Winterzuchtgarten wurden die 5 Flint- und Dentlinien, welche im Reinanbau selektiert wurden, faktoriell miteinander gekreuzt. Gleiches gilt für die 4 Flint- und 5 Dentlinien aus der Mischkultur. So entstanden 45 Experimentalhybriden, welche im letzten Versuchsjahr 2014 sowohl in Reinanbau mit 7,5 Maispflanzen/m² und 10 Maispflanzen/m² als auch in Mischkultur mit „Anellino verde“ (7,5 Maispflanzen/m² und 10 Bohnenpflanzen/m²) an den Standorten Göttingen, Einbeck und Eutingen untersucht wurden. In diesem Jahr konnten Bohnenertragsanteile von bis zu 13 % erreicht werden. In der Maiszüchtung werden bei der Selektion der Trockenmasseertrag und der Trockensubstanzgehalt betrachtet. Zur Berechnung des erwarteten Selektionserfolges wurde daher mit dem reifekorrigierten Ertrag (RekoE) ein Merkmal berechnet, welches Trockenmasseertrag und Trockensubstanzgehalt berücksichtigt. Für dieses Merkmal zeigen 2012 signifikante Maisgenotyp x Anbausystem Interaktionen, dass ein spezielles Zuchtprogramm zur Entwicklung von Maissorten für den Anbau in Mischkultur sinnvoll sein kann. Allerdings lagen die genetischen Korrelationen zwischen RekoE im Reinanbau und RekoE in Mischkultur bei 0,76 – 0,83. Diese hohen Korrelationen lassen eine indirekte Selektion auf Mischkultureignung des Maises attraktiv erscheinen. Hierbei würde im Reinanbau indirekt auf das Zielmerkmal (Mischkultureignung) selektiert. Unter Berücksichtigung, dass eine Selektion in Mischkultur (direkte Selektion) zusätzliche Ressourcen verlangt und Mais ohnehin im Reinanbau in der praktischen Maiszüchtung getestet wird, konnte kein Vorteil auf Seiten der direkten Selektion gegenüber der Selektion im Reinanbau (indirekte Selektion) bei den Flinttesthybriden ermittelt werden. Bei den Denttesthybriden hingegen konnten Vorteile einer direkten Selektion ermittelt werden, da in der Mischkultur die Heritabilität um 0,08 höher war als im Reinanbau. 2014 konnten keine Maisgenotyp x Anbausystem Interaktionen nachgewiesen werden und die Schätzwerte für die genetischen Korrelationen zwischen Reinanbau und Mischkultur lagen bei 1. Dies führt zu der Schlussfolgerung, dass wahrscheinlich kein eigenständiges Zuchtprogramm für Mais in Mischkultur zu rechtfertigen ist. Stattdessen könnte zunächst im Reinanbau eine Vorselektion stattfinden mit einer abschließenden Prüfung in Mischkultur. Obwohl in den Versuchen nur geringe Bohnenanteile realisiert wurden, resultierten aus den in Mischkultur selektierten Linien einige sehr leistungsstarke Hybriden. Für die zukünftige Etablierung der Mischkultur von Mais und Bohnen zur Biomasseproduktion gilt es nun auf Seiten der Bohne das genetische Potential für dieses Anbausystem zu untersuchen und zu nutzen. Erste Begleitversuche im Rahmen dieser Arbeit haben gezeigt, dass hier ein enormes Potential liegt.

Le modèle Aevol est un modèle d'évolution expérimentale in silico développé par Carole Knibbe et Guillaume Beslon pour étudier l'évolution de la structure des génomes. Aevol a permis d'identifier une très forte pression de sélection indirecte vers un certain niveau de variabilité mutationnelle du phénotype : la survie à long terme d'une lignée étant conditionnée à sa capacité à produire des mutations avantageuses sans pour autant produire trop de mutations délétères, un certain compromis entre robustesse et évolvabilité est indirectement sélectionné. Une conséquence de cette pression de sélection indirecte est le rôle central joué par le taux spontané de réarrangements chromosomiques dans la détermination de la structure du génome. Dans ce travail, nous avons modifié le modèle Aevol pour introduire d'une part un processus explicite de régulation de l'expression des gènes et d'autre part, une sensibilité aux similarités entre séquences dans les événements de recombinaison de l'ADN. Nous avons ainsi pu étudier l'effet de ces variations sur la sélection de second-ordre. Nous avons en particulier observé que celle-ci est extrêmement robuste aux choix de modélisation : les effets liés aux réarrangements sont en effet observés de la même façon lorsque les organismes possèdent un réseau de régulation (qui plus est, ces effets sont visibles sur le réseau lui-même), lorsque les réarrangements se produisent préférentiellement entre séquences similaires et lorsque les transferts horizontaux sont possibles. De plus, les effets de cette pression de sélection de second-ordre ne sont pas limités au niveau génomique : de forts taux de réarrangements tendent à donner lieu à des génomes présentant beaucoup d'opérons, très peu d'ARNs non-codants et des réseaux de régulation très simples. Au contraire, chez les organismes ayant évolué avec de faibles taux de réarrangement, la plupart des gènes sont transcrits sur des ARNs monocistroniques. Ces organismes possèdent un grand nombre d'ARNs non-codants et présentent des réseaux de régulation très complexes. Ces effets observés dans le modèle à différents niveaux d'organisation peuvent s'apparenter à de nombreuses caractéristiques observées chez les organismes réels. Ainsi les pressions sélectives indirectes observées grâce au model Aevol permettent de reproduire un large spectre de propriétés biologiques connues en ne modifiant que le seul taux de réarrangements dans le modèle. Ces mécanismes de sélection indirecte apparaissent donc comme de bons candidats pour expliquer ces mêmes observations sur les organismes réels. / The Aevol model is an in silico experimental evolution model that was specifically developped by Carole Knibbe to study the evolution of the structure of the genome. Using Aevol, a very strong second-order selective pressure towards a specific level of mutational variability of the phenotype was revealed: it was shown that since the survival of a lineage on the long term is conditionned to its ability to produce beneficial mutations while not loosing those previously found, a specific trade-off between robustness and evolvability is indirectly selected. A consequence of this indirect selective pressure is the central role played by the spontaneous rate of chromosomal rearrangements in determining the structure of the genome. More specifically, it was shown that because some rearrangements (large duplications and large deletions) have an impact not only arround their breakpoints but on the whole sequence between them, non-coding sequences are actually mutagenic for the coding sequences they surround. The consequence is a clear trend for organisms having evolved under high rearrangement rates to have very short genomes with hardly any non-coding sequences while organisms evolving in the context of low rearrangement rates have huge, mostly non-coding genomes. Here, we modified the Aevol model to introduce an explicit regulation of gene expression as well as a sensitivity to sequence similarity in DNA recombination events. We observed that the effects of the second-order pressure mentioned above are very robust to modelling choices: they are similarly observed when gene regulation is made available, when rearrangements occur preferentially between similar sequences and even when a biologically plausible process of horizontal transfer is allowed. Moreover, the effects of this second-order selective pressure are not limited to the genomic level: high rearrangement rates usually lead to genomes that have many polycistronic RNAs, almost no non-coding RNAs and very simple regulation networks. On the contrary, at low rearrangement rates organisms have most of their genes transcribed on monocistronic RNAs, they own a huge number of coding RNAs and present very complex and intricate regulation networks. These astounding effects at different levels of organization can account for many features found on real organisms. Thus, the indirect selective pressure that was identified thanks to the Aevol model allows to reproduce a large panel of known biological properties by changing the sole spontaneous rearrangement rate, making this pressure a good candidate for explaining these observations on real organisms.

O arroz (Oryza sativa L.) é uma das bases na alimentação e segundo cereal mais produzido no mundo, sendo considerada uma das principais culturas com potencial para combater a fome. Desta forma, os programas de melhoramento desse cereal têm intensificado a busca por genótipos superiores, prioritariamente para produtividade, contudo, atualmente também estão focando neste mesmo nível de prioridade os atributos de qualidade de grãos. Sendo estes atributos decisivos na adoção de uma linhagem melhorada como uma cultivar comercial, pois reflete diretamente no seu valor de mercado e aceitação do consumidor. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo determinar a adaptabilidade e estabilidade, bem como, estudar as correlações genéticas, dos caracteres de qualidade de grão de cultivares e linhagens elites de arroz irrigado para facilitar as inferências requisitadas pelos melhoristas. Dois ensaios experimentais foram conduzidos em diferentes ambientes, nas safras agrícolas de 2014/15 e 2015/16. O primeiro experimento teve como objetivos avaliar a adaptabilidade e estabilidade de linhagens elites de arroz irrigado em oito ambientes distintos, pelos métodos de MHVG, PRVG e MHPRVG. As linhagens AB11502, AB10501, AB13008, AB13002 e AB13003 apresentaram bom desempenho agronômico, além de adaptabilidade e estabilidade para os caracteres de qualidade de grãos, perante os métodos propostos. O segundo experimento teve o objetivo de evidenciar as correlações genéticas e as associações diretas e indiretas de caracteres agronômicos e atributos de qualidade de grãos, relacionados ao rendimento de grãos inteiros em arroz irrigado pela análise de trilha. A área gessada total, juntamente com a brancura total são os fatores que mais influenciaram no percentual de grãos inteiros, tanto via correlações genotípicas, quanto via efeitos diretos pela análise de trilha, demonstrando assim, potencial para utilização como critérios de seleção indireta para rendimento de grãos inteiros. Cabe ressaltar que ainda há poucos trabalhos na área de genética quantitativa para o caráter de qualidade dos grãos, de maneira que o progresso genético da mesma está apenas no começo. Neste sentido, novas pesquisas devem ser realizadas, visando utilizar cada vez mais, tais ferramentas no processo de seleção. Palavras-chave: Oryza sativa L.; rendimento de engenho; grãos inteiros; / Nowadays, the incessant quest for greater productivity and food quality is one of the world's biggest concerns. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the bases in human nutrition, being the second most produced cereal in the world, considered one of the main crops with potential to fight hunger. In this way, they are highly important among breeding programs. These factors that intensify the search for superior genotypes, mainly for productivity, however, the attributes of grain quality are also classified at this same level of priority. These attributes are decisive in the adoption of an improved lineage as a commercial cultivar, as it directly reflects its market value and consumer acceptance. In this sense, the objective of the present work was to determine the adaptability and stability, as well as to study the genetic correlations of grain quality traits of cultivars and elite breeding lines of irrigated rice to facilitate the inferences requested by breeders. Two experimental trials were conducted in different environments, in the agricultural crops of 2014/15 and 2015/16. The first experiment had as objectives to evaluate the adaptability and stability for elite breeding lines of irrigated rice in eight different environments, by the methods of MHVG, PRVG and MHPRVG. The lines AB11502, AB10501, AB13008, AB13002 and AB13003 showed good agronomic performance, besides adaptability and stability for grain quality characters, in relation to the proposed methods. The second experiment had the objective of evidencing the genetic correlations and the direct and indirect associations of agronomic traits and grain quality attributes, related to the yield of whole grains in rice irrigated by path analysis. The total chalky area together with the total whiteness were the factors that influenced the percentage of whole grains, both via genotypic correlations and via direct effects through path analysis, thus showing potential for use as indirect selection criteria for yield whole grain. It should be emphasized that there are still few studies in quantitative genetics for the grain quality traits, so that the genetic progress is only at the beginning. In this sense, new research must be carried out, aiming to use these tools more and more in the selection process.

The selection of genotypes was based on methods of adaptability, as produced by the harmonic mean of genetic values (MHVG); of stability, as produced by the relative performance of genetic values (PRVG); and on a joint selection for both adaptability and stability, as produced by the harmonic mean of the relative performance of the genetic values (MHPRVG). The genetic correlations were estimated (rG), phenotypic (rF) and environment (rE) for each environment. The following traits were evaluated: fruit number (FN); total cumulative productivity (TCP); fruit mass (FM); fruit length (FL); fruit diameter (FD); peel mass (PM); peel thickness (PT); pulp mass (PUM); juice yield (JY); soluble solids (SS); titratable acidity (TA); and SS/TA (RATIO). The estimates for heritability and the genetic gains in the evaluated environments were found to have good perspectives for the selection of superior genotypes, except for traits TCP, SS, and JY. There was a marked effect from the genotype x environment interaction (GxE) for most traits, except for FL, JY, SS, TA, and SS/TA. The most stable and adaptable hybrids in the evaluated environments were BRS Gigante Amarelo (BRS Yellow Giant), HFOP-09, H09-09, GP09-02, GP09-03, and BRS Sol do Cerrado (BRS Sun of Cerrado). In 88.88% of cases the estimates of genotypic correlations were higher than phenotypic in the three environments. In Len??is genotypic correlations between FN x FM, FD, PT, PM, PUM, SS and TA, differed from the other environments. In Dom Basil?o and Rio de Contas to TCP correlated positively with FM, FL, FD and PM. In all environments the selection of fruits with higher FM facilitating higher LF, FD, PM and PUM and the selection of the oval thinner peel fruit shape. In general, for correlations between traits of agronomic importance, such as FN x TCP, SS; FM x FD, PM, PUM, RATIO; FD x FM, PUM, RATIO; FL/FD x PT e FM x RATIO showed the same behavior in the three evaluation environments, except for characteristics FN x FM, FD, PT, PM, PUM e TA in Lenc?is. / Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar a adaptabilidade e estabilidade de 14 h?bridos de maracujazeiro-amarelo, estimar os componentes gen?ticos de vari?ncia e de m?dia via modelos mistos (REML/BLUP), estabelecer as correla??es fenot?picas, genot?picas e ambientais entre caracter?sticas do fruto de maracujazeiro em tr?s ambientes. Foram avaliados 14 gen?tipos de maracujazeiro nos ambientes de Dom Bas?lio-BA, Rio de Contas-BA e Len??is-BA, utilizando o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados completos, com tr?s repeti??es e nove plantas por parcela. A sele??o gen?tipos baseou-se nos m?todos da adaptabilidade dada pela m?dia harm?nica dos valores gen?ticos (MHVG), estabilidade pela performance relativa dos valores gen?ticos (PRVG) e sele??o conjunta para adaptabilidade e estabilidade dada pela m?dia harm?nica da performance relativa dos valores gen?ticos (MHPRVG). Foram estimadas as correla??o genot?pica (rG), fenot?pica (rF) e de ambiente (rE) para cada ambiente. Foram avaliados os caracteres, n?mero de frutos (NF); produtividade total acumulada (PR); massa do fruto (MF); comprimento de frutos (CF); di?metro do fruto (DF); rela??o CF/DF; massa da casca (MC); espessura de casca (EC); massa da polpa (MP); rendimento de suco (RE); s?lidos sol?veis (SS); acidez titul?vel (AT) e RATIO (SS/AT). As estimativas de herdabilidade e os ganhos gen?ticos nos ambientes avaliados apresentaram boas perspectivas para sele??o de gen?tipos superiores. Houve efeito pronunciado da intera??o GxE para a maioria dos caracteres, exceto CF, RE, SS, AT e SS/AT. De acordo com o crit?rio MHPRVG os h?bridos mais est?veis e adapt?veis nos ambientes de avalia??o foram o BRS Gigante Amarelo, HFOP-09, H09-09, GP09-02, GP09-03 e BRS Sol do Cerrado. Em 88,88% dos casos as estimativas das correla??es genot?picas foram maiores do que as fenot?picas nos tr?s ambientes. Em len??is as correla??es genot?picas foram negativas entre NF x MF, DF, EC, MC, MP, SS e AT, divergindo dos demais ambientes. Nos ambientes de Dom Bas?lio e Rio de Contas a PR correlacionou se positivamente com MF, CF, DF e MC. Em todos os ambientes a sele??o de frutos com maiores MF proporcionar? maiores CF, DF, PC e PP e pela sele??o do formato de frutos ovais menor espessura de casca. De modo geral, para as correla??es entre caracter?sticas de import?ncia agron?mica, como NF x PR, SS; MF x DF, MC, MP, RATIO; DF x MC, MP, RATIO; CF/DF x EC e MC x RATIO apresentaram o mesmo comportamento nos tr?s ambientes de avalia??o, exceto para caracter?sticas NF x MF, DF, EC, MC, MP e AT em Len??is.
