Comparative study of univariate and multivariate selection strategies based on an integrated approach applied to oilseed rape breeding

Hossein ZEİNALZADEH TABRİZİ

Choosing the right method to discover superior genotypes is always one of the major challenges that oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) researchers deal with. This work aimed to compare the univariate and multivariate selection indices utilizing variance-based, additive main effects and multiplicative interaction based, best linear unbiased prediction based, and genotype x environment/trait based strategies to determine the best-performing (regarding stability, yield, and agronomic traits) oilseed rape genotypes. Utilized indices were categorized into five general methods, including univariate pe ...Более
