RESUMO

The knowledge of inheritance of traits is very important for breeding purposes. However, the inheritance is highly influenced by the environment and the genotypic composition of the population and thus, the accumulative information of estimates is very important for a better knowledge of the inheritance of quantitative traits. Most of the studies of inheritance of quantitative traits in soybeans are based on populations which nowadays have no more interest in soybean breeding programs. The objective of this study was to investigate the inheritance of grain yield (PG) and yield components in soybeans, i.e., number of pods per plant (VP), number of seeds per plant (SP), and number of seeds per pod (SV), in a population derived from two genetically divergent soybean cultivars: Embrapa 60 and MG/BR 46. The parents, F1, F2 and two backcross generations were evaluated in the 2007/8 growing season for the four traits, at the Department of Genetics (ESALQ), in Piracicaba, SP. Experimental data were submitted to genetic analyses according to the additive-dominant model proposed by Mather and Jinks. Heterosis estimates were positive for three out of four traits (PG, VP, SP), with magnitudes around 50%, based on the parent means, while for SV heterosis was null. The heritability estimates on a plant basis were medium for yield components (between 33% and 42%) and low for PG (16%). Additive variance estimates were always higher than the dominance estimates, and the degree of dominance (gmd) for all the traits were around 1.0 (0.96 to 1.21), indicating the occurrence of complete dominance for the traits assessed.
