PREDICCIÓN BAYESIANA DE PARÁMETROS GENÉTICOS EN CLONES DE Eucalyptus globulus BAJO CONDICIONES DE SUPLEMENTO HÍDRICO

ABSTRACT A Bayesian analysis of genetic parameters for growth traits at twelve months after planting was carried out in twenty nine Eucalyptus globulus clones in southern Chile. Two different environmental conditions were considered: 1) Non-irrigation and; 2) Plants were irrigated with a localized irrigation system. The Bayesian approach was performed using Gibbs sampling algorithm in a clone-environment interaction model. Heritability values were high in the water supply condition (posterior mode: H2=0.41, 0.36 and 0.39 for height, diameter and sectional area, respectively), while in the env...
