Item Importance of agronomic traits in the individual selection process of sugarcane as determined using logistic regression(Acta Scientiarum. Agronomy, 2016-07) Brasileiro, Bruno Portela; Peternelli, Luiz Alexandre; Silveira, Luís Cláudio Inácio da; Barbosa, Márcio Henrique PereiraThe aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of agronomic traits during the selection of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), as well as to evaluate the potential for using logistic regression and decision trees to identify the best genotypes. A total of 7,719 seedlings of 128 half-sib families were evaluated during the first test phase (T1), and 659 clones were selected for the second (T2). Logistic regression was applied to both populations. The number of stalks, bud prominence and length of the internode were the most important selection traits in the T1 population. The plant vigor, stalk diameter and stalk height were the most important selection traits in the T2 population. There were 174 individuals selected when using the mass selection method in T1 and 113 individuals in T2, whereas a logistic regression selected 153 individuals in T1 and 79 in T2. The apparent error rates of the logistic models fitted to the selections in T1 and T2 were 0.8 and 5.10%, respectively. By using a decision tree, 67 clones were selected among the most productive ones in phase T2. Therefore, the formulation of decision trees is highly applicable to identifying potential clones during the initial phases of breeding programs.Item Consistency of the results of path analysis among sugarcane experiments(Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2013-07) Brasileiro, Bruno Portela; Peternelli, Luiz Alexandre; Barbosa, Márcio Henrique PereiraThe aim of this research was to evaluate the consistency of path analyses in sugarcane experiments based on genetic, phenotypic and genotypic correlations. Forty-four analyses were made with a view toward quantifying the direct and indirect effects of stalk height (SH), stalk diameter (SD) and number of stalks (NS) on sugarcane weight (SW). NS had the greatest direct effect on SW in all the analyses with the use of genetic and phenotypic correlations and in 12 analyses with use of the genotypic correlations. SD had a high direct effect on SW, going beyond NS in only one experiment, while SH had the lowest direct effect on SW in most of the experiments. The results showed greater consistency with the use of genetic and phenotypic correlations. In the balanced experiments, the phenotypic and genetic correlations showed equivalent results. NS is the main determinant of changes in sugarcane production.
