Estimation of Genetic Parameters and Prediction of Breeding Values for Fruit-Quality Traits in Hybrid Mangoes

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Genetic parameters to fruit quality of mango hybrids were estimated using a mixed model REM/BLUP. Twenty-seven hybrids (Tommy Atkins cross with Haden, Palmer, Van Dyke, Kent and Coquinho) were evaluated, in two crop seasons. Physical and chemical traits analyzed were weight, longitudinal length, transverse diameter, fiber presence, pulp firmness, skin and pulp color, fibers presence titratable acidity, and soluble solids (SS). Repeatability varying from 0.53 (SS) to 0.89 (diameter). Selective Accuracy (Acm) based on average harvests varying from 0.73 (SS) to 0.94 (weight, length, and diameter). According to selection gain and the new averages the most promising hybrids were selected.
