Viana, J. M. S., Faria, V. R., Fonseca e Silva, F. and Vilela de Resende, M. D. 2012. Combined selection of progeny in crop breeding using best linear unbiased prediction. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 553–562. Combined selection is an important strategy in crop breeding. As the classical index does not consider pedigree information, the objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) methodology for combined selection of progeny. We analyzed expansion volume (EV) and grain yield of parents and inbred and non-inbred progeny from the popcorn population Viçosa. The BLUP analyses, single-trait and of the same character measured in parents and progeny (combined parent-family) were performed using the ASReml software. Because the experiments were balanced, the estimates of the additive variance from the BLUP and least squares analyses were generally equivalent. The accuracies of the BLUP analyses do not clearly establish the superior technique. The accuracy of the classical index tended to be higher than that obtained from BLUP analyses. There was equivalence between BLUP and least squares analyses relative to half-sib and inbred progeny selection, and superiority of the combined parent-family BLUP index for full-sib selection. The BLUP analyses also differed from the least squares analysis on the coincidence of selected parents. The populations obtained by selection based on BLUP of breeding values presented a lower effective size.

An optimum way of selecting animals is through a prediction of their genetic merit (estimated breeding value, EBV), which can be achieved using a best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP) (Henderson, 1975). Selection decisions in a commercial environment, however, are rarely made solely on genetic merit but also on additional factors, an important example of which is to limit the accumulation of inbreeding. Comparison of rates of inbreeding under BLUP for a range of hentabilities highlights a trend of increasing inbreeding with decreasing heritability. It is therefore proposed that selection using a heritability which is artificially raised would yield lower rates of inbreeding than would otherwise be the case.

Background: Additive main and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis had been exploited for multi environment trials for most of the crops. Usage of the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP), along with AMMI tools, of the genotypes would improve the estimation of interaction effects. Methods: AMMI based measures of adaptability have been enriched with the incorporation of BLUP of genotypes by new Superiority index that allowed variable weights for stability and yield of genotypes. Result: Stability measure weighted average of absolute scores (WAASB) based on all significant interaction principal components ranked suitability of KB1754, RD3000, NDB1445 genotypes. Superiority index while weighting 0.65 and 0.35 for mean yield and stability arranged DWRB201, NDB1445, RD2552 as of stable high yield performance of barley genotypes. Corrected measure Modified AMMI Stability Value (MASV1) found RD2552, DWRB201, KB1762 and Modified AMMI Stability Value (MASV) ranked DWRB201, RD2552, KB1762. ASTAB measure achieved the desirable lower values for DWRB201 DWRB207, HUB268 genotypes. Biplot graphical analysis based on 60.7% of variation of the stability measures observed MASV1, ASTAB (AMMI based stability parameter), EV(Averages of the squared eigenvector values), SIPC (Sums of the absolute value of the IPC scores), Za (Absolute value of the relative contribution of IPCs to the interaction), W3, WAASB and MASV had been clubbed together. For the second year lower value of WAASB measure had observed for RD3016, KB1815 HUB273. Ranking of genotypes as per Superiority index found RD3017, RD2907, HUB274 as of stable high yield performance. Genotypes RD3017, RD2907 and NDB1173 pointed out by MASV1 while RD3017, RD2907, NDB1173 identified by MASV as the genotypes of choice. RD3017 NDB1173, RD2907 genotypes were selected as per values of ASTAB measure. Total of 71.8% of variation of the considered measures in biplot analysis expressed larger cluster comprised of AMMI based measures and a separate cluster of Superiority indexes as per mean, Geometric Adaptability Index (GAI) and HMGV also observed.
