The objective of this work was to estimate genetic parameters and to evaluate simultaneous selection for root yield and for adaptability and stability of cassava genotypes. The effects of genotypes were assumed as fixed and random, and the mixed model methodology (REML/Blup) was used to estimate genetic parameters and the harmonic mean of the relative performance of genotypic values (HMRPGV), for simultaneous selection purposes. Ten genotypes were analyzed in a complete randomized block design, with four replicates. The experiment was carried out in the municipalities of Altamira, Santarém, and Santa Luzia do Pará in the state of Pará, Brazil, in the growing seasons of 2009/2010, 2010/2011, and 2011/2012. Roots were harvested 12 months after planting, in all tested locations. Root yield had low coefficients of genotypic variation (4.25%) and broad-sense heritability of individual plots (0.0424), which resulted in low genetic gain. Due to the low genotypic correlation (0.15), genotype classification as to root yield varied according to the environment. Genotypes CPATU 060, CPATU 229, and CPATU 404 stood out as to their yield, adaptability, and stability.

Molecular characterization of 'sweet' cassavas (Manihot esculenta) from a germplasm bank in Brazilian Eastern Amazonia
(Sociedade Brasileira de Melhoramento de Plantas, 2016-03) CUNHA, Elisa Ferreira Moura; SILVA, Carlos Rogério de Sousa; ALBUQUERQUE, Paulo Sérgio Bevilaqua de; RAMALHO, Girena Fernandes; PONTES, Lígia Cristine Gonçalves; FARIAS NETO, João Tomé de
Genetic variability of a set of 81 accessions of 'sweet' cassavas (Manihot esculenta) collected mostly in the North region of Brazil was investigated with nine microsatellite loci. All loci were polymorphic, with mean of 6.33 alleles per locus. Analyses indicated that 35 multiloci profiles were represented by a single accession, and 46 showed non-unique profiles, represented by eleven genotypes. Forty-six different multiloci profiles were detected. Most of the putative duplicated accessions were collected in different locations. After the removal of putative duplicated genotypes, genetic parameters were estimated and expected heterozygosity was high (HE=0.73), indicating genetic variability. Structure analysis of this set of 'sweet' cassavas divided the 46 genotypes into two clusters (K=2), and a few genotypes had mixed ancestry. Results indicated the habit of exchange of materials among farmers of the North region of Brazil, and the genetic variability to be exploited in genetic breeding efforts.
