Zusammenfassung: | The main goal of this study was to assess the nature and magnitude of gene effects for resistance to Cercospora leaf spot. A randomized block design with three replications was used. The data were obtained at the plant level by assessing the disease severity. The data were analyzed per experiment, using the average data per plot. A dominant-additive genetic model without epistasis was considered, with estimation of the components of means and variance. The genetic control of resistance to gray leaf spot is polygenic with predominance of the additive effects. Dominance was observed in a few small-effect loci and high heritability values.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a natureza e a magnitude dos efeitos gênicos da resistência à Cercosporiose. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com três repetições. A avaliação da resistência foi realizada utilizando escala diagramática com notas. Os dados obtidos foram analisados por experimento, utilizando-se médias de parcela. Foi considerado um modelo aditivo-dominante sem epistasia, com a estimação dos componentes de média e de variância. O controle genético da resistência à Cercosporiose é poligênico, com predominância dos efeitos aditivos, com dominância em poucos locos de pequeno efeito e alta herdabilidade, condição essa favorável à seleção. |
