Pastures and sugarcane are economically important crops, with genetic complexities that restrict the availability of genomic resources and make the selection process slower and more complicated than in other important agricultural species. Food production and also bio-based resources face constant abiotic and biotic challenges, and sustainable practices and environmentally-friendly soluti…
Nematode attacks are considered among the major phytosanitary issues in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) crops. The root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne are possibly the most widely distributed pest, particularly M. incognita, one of the most damaging crop pathogens. The practices for nematode control usually involve infeasible field management. The chemical control is inefficient…
Development and application of new models for genome-wide selection in plants. (AU)
The macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) is a nut crop tree widespread across eastern Australia.Although, it was introduced in Brazil in 1931, just in the past 20 years its cultivated area hasexpanded more signicantly. However, 80% of the orchards consists of exotic varieties, and just 17local cultivars are available to farmers. Therefore, the lack of local varieties makes indispensable the…
Breeding programs have been successfully over the years in the generation of new improved sugarcane varieties (Saccharum spp.), which are more productive and resistant to pests, diseases and abiotic stresses. These varieties are of central importance for sugar and ethanol production. However, breeding process takes about 10 to 15 years to release new varieties, mainly because of the diffi…
Attacks by nematodes are among the main phytosanitary problems that affect common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) crops. The production of P. vulgaris in the world can be challenging mainly due to the attack of the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita). Alternatives to control nematodes involve practices that are not viable in the field, and one of the most efficient ways is the develop…
New Genomic Selection models that allows predicting sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) traits early in season using repeated measures data obtained from robotic platforms may help to increase predictability accuracy of genotypes after successive circles of selection using only molecular markers information. However, to date, there is no developed Genomic selection models that can recovery temporal…
Once reduction of the costs of genotyping technologies have been occurred, the use of genomic selection for the improvement of quantitative traits, is a technology that has been applied to increase the genetic gains and reduce costs of phenotyping in breeding programs. In genomic selection, phenotypic data arising from breeding programs in multiple environments trials maybe used for the c…

Single-cross hybrids have been used to explore heterosis in selfing and outcrossing species. However, as it is infeasible to obtain and evaluate all possible combinations among pairs of inbred lines, predict the performance of untested single-cross hybrids is essential to increase genetic gains in breeding programs. In a breeding routine, data are often unbalanced because different sets o…
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench spp.) is a bioenergy crop that contains several appealing features for exploration in breeding to increase the efficiency of bioenergy production. In genomic selection, high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) data collected over time have a temporal correlation structure still not addressed by genetic models. Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBN) is a modeling frame…
Genomic selection (GS) is defined as the simultaneous selection of hundreds or thousands of molecular markers (SNPs), so that the majority of quantitative trait locus (QTL) are in linkage disequilibrium with the markers. Thus, markers associated with QTLs, regardless of the effects magnitude, are used to explain the genetic variation of quantitative loci and guide the selection. Simulatio…
