Aims: The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic divergence between ten corn genotypes in the 2017/18 crop, under high and low phosphorus. Study Design: The experimental design used in each test was randomized blocks, the treatments were: ten genotypes in two levels of phosphorus and three replications. Place and Duration of Study: Sítio Vitória, municipality of Santa Maria das Barreiras, state of Pará, Brazil, in the 2017/18 crop. Methodology: The experimental plot consisted of four lines five meters long, spaced with 0.90 m between the lines, with approximately 55,000 plants per hectare in the harvest. The genotypes used: 2B655, AG 1051, AG 8088, AL BANDEIRANTE, ANHEMBI, BR 206, BRS 3046, CATIVERDE, ORION e PR 27D28. The following agronomic characteristics were evaluated: plant height, ear height, ear diameter, ear length, number of grains per row, yield per plant and grain yield. Genetic divergence was estimated from Mahalanobis distances and genotypes were grouped by Tocher optimization methods. Results: Genetic dissimilarity measurements, at each dose of phosphorus, showed a high magnitude (D2= 9.72 to 1484.87). Cluster analysis separated the genotypes into four groups at low phosphorus and two groups at high phosphorus. The characteristics that most contributed to genetic divergence, in the two levels of phosphorus, were yield per plant and grain yield. Conclusion: There was a higher genetic divergence between genotypes AG 1051 and BANDEIRANTE in the low phosphorus assay and between the genotypes ANHEMBI and AL BANDEIRANTE in the high phosphorus assay. With this, these crosses are promising to obtain lineages in both tests.

Carthamus tinctorius L. is an oil seed, used both for human consumption and for industrial purposes. It is a crop that presents wide adaptability to various ecophysiological conditions, although it presents great productive potential and wide adaptability, it is still necessary to obtain technical information regarding its cultivation and of cultivars adapted and improved. In this sense, the estimation of genetic divergence using multivariate techniques has become a common tool among breeders. In view of the above, this research aimed to evaluate the genetic divergence of safflower genotypes originate from the Germplasm Active Bank (BAG) of the Instituto Mato-grossense do Algodão (IMA-MT) by means of multivariate analysis, aiming at the extension of information of this culture. The genetic divergence was estimated using multivariate analysis based on the Euclidean average distance, using the clustering optimization methods of Tocher and Hierarchical “UPGMA”. The results obtained allowed to identify the existence of genetic divergence among the evaluated genotypes, highlighting genotypes 5 and 38, which presented greater genetic divergence, constituting in potential sources of interest for the use in program of genetic improvement that aim at the development of superior cultivars of safflower.

Knowledge about variation and relative importance of agronomic traits for genetic divergence studies can reveal useful information to guide the breeding programs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the phenotypic variation, and select of pineapple half-sib seedlings based on genetic divergence of fruit and plant traits. 'Pérola' cultivar (female genitor) received a pollen mix as from cultivars 'MD-2', 'BRS Imperial' and 'BRS Vitória' (male genitors). Four hundred twenty-nine F1 individuals propagated from seeds were evaluated under field conditions. Descriptive statistics, Singh's (1981) relative contribution, and Tocher's cluster optimization methods based on the distances matrix were estimated. Coefficients of variation ranged from 9.89 % to 63.79 %. Regarding total variance, fruit traits grouped 52.69%, while plant traits accumulated 47.30%. These results demonstrated that evaluated traits contribute for half-sib progeny relative discrimination and that none of them should be discarded for studies of diversity. Among the 12 heterotic clusters formed, group VII, IX and VIII are recommended to compose hybridization blocks and evaluation cycles of phenotypic stability for use per se. These groups have a broad heterotic potential, and desirable agronomic traits, mainly regarding to high means for fruit mass without crown (FMWC) upper than 4,000g and soluble solids content (SSC) around 20-21°Brix, which can be used by the IPA’s pineapple breeding program.
