    • Abstract:
      The objectives of this study were to identify promising popcorn lines and hybrids for genetic resistance to tropical rust (Tr, Physopella zeae) in diallel crosses of nine lines derived from a large part of Brazilian popcorn germplasm and to estimate genetic parameters for Tr resistance. Crosses and checks were tested in a random block design, with artificial inoculations under greenhouse conditions. Plots consisted of a single 14-L pot, with four plants. Tr was measured by severity and area under the disease progress curve. Data was analyzed by Griffing's diallel model, and genetic parameters were estimated. Heritability estimates to Tr resistance was medium. Specific combining ability-SCA had significant effects (P<0.10) for resistance, and was eight to nine times larger than general combining ability-GCA (P>0.10). This indicated the major importance of non additive gene effects. In general, breeding possibilities for resistance was restricted. The line 9 (L7.4) had the most outstanding GCA for resistance to Tr, and hybrids 1×7 and 3×6 had outstanding SCA and were recommended for breeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      Os objetivos deste estudo foram identificar linhagens e híbridos de milho-pipoca promissores quanto à resistência genética à ferrugem tropical (Ftrop, Physopella zeae) em cruzamentos dialélicos, envolvendo nove linhagens derivadas de uma grande parte do germoplasma brasileiro de milho-pipoca, e estimar parâmetros genéticos envolvendo a resistência à Ftrop. Cruzamentos e testemunhas foram testadosem delineamento de blocos ao acaso, sob condições de casade- vegetação e inoculação artificial. As parcelas consistiram de um vaso de 14 litros, com quatro plantas. A Ftrop foi avaliada pela severidade e pela área abaixo da curva de progresso da doença. Os dados foram analisados pelo modelo dialélico de Griffing e parâmetros genéticos foram estimados. As estimativas de herdabilidade foram médias. A capacidade específica de combinação-CEC teve efeito significativo (P<0,10) para a resistência e foi oito a nove vezes maior que a capacidade geral de combinação-CGC (P>0,10). Isso indicou que os efeitos gênicos não aditivos foram mais importantes. Em geral, as possibilidades de melhoramento foram restritas. A linhagem 9 (L7.4) teve a mais destacada CGC para a resistência e os híbridos 1×7 e 3×6 tiveram destacada CEC e foram recomendados para melhoramento. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
