Abstract (es)

Genetic parameters such as leaf relative water content, leaf chlorophyll content, plant height, above-ground biomass, harvest index, grain yield, and grain yield components of Bousselam/Mrb5 durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) cross were estimated based on generation means analysis. A, B, C, and D scaling and Chi-square (χ²) tests revealed the inadequacy of the simple additive-dominance model. This result suggests the presence of digenic epistasis for most studied traits; the duplicate epistasis was present for relative water content, above-ground biomass, and grain yield; and complementary epistasis was observed for chlorophyll content. Significant genotypic correlation coefficients appeared among grain yield, relative water content, and above-ground biomass. This suggests useful indirect selection criteria to improve simultaneously these traits, which showed significant heritability. It can be concluded that the traits investigated show a complex genetic behavior, which implies that early selection would be less efficient; therefore, it is recommended delaying the selection to advanced generations to benefit from the reduction of non-fixable genetic variation and exploit transgressive segregators due to the significant interaction additivity×additivity (i) of the gene and duplicated epistasis.

Los parámetros genéticos como el contenido relativo de agua en la hoja, el contenido de clorofila en la hoja, la altura de la planta, la biomasa sobre el suelo, el índice de cosecha, el rendimiento de grano y los componentes de rendimiento de grano del cruce de trigo duro Bousselam/Mrb5 (Triticum durum Desf.) se estimaron con base al análisis de medias generacionales. Las pruebas de escala A, B, C, D y Chi-cuadrado (χ²) revelaron la insuficiencia del modelo simple de dominio aditivo. Este resultado sugiere la presencia de epistasis digénica para los rasgos más estudiados; la epistasis duplicada estuvo presente para el contenido relativo de agua, la biomasa aérea y el rendimiento de grano; y se observó epistasis complementaria para el contenido de clorofila. Aparecieron coeficientes genotípicos de correlación significativos entre rendimiento de grano, contenido relativo de agua y biomasa sobre el suelo. Esto sugiere criterios útiles de selección indirecta para mejorar simultáneamente estos rasgos, que mostraron una heredabilidad significativa. Se puede concluir que los rasgos investigados muestran un comportamiento genético complejo, lo que implica que la selección temprana sería menos eficiente; por lo tanto, se recomendaría retrasar la selección a generaciones avanzadas para beneficiarse de la reducción de la variación genética no reparable y explotar los segregadores transgresores debido a la interacción significativa aditividad×aditividad (i) del gen y la epistasis duplicada.
