Productivity, stability and adaptability in open pollination progenies of Eucalyptus urophylla ST Blake

Prediction of genetic gains within breeding programs is not always compatible with those observed in practice. One reason for this inconsistency is the lack of knowledge of genotype-environment interaction (GxE). The aim of this study was to estimate genetic variation, evaluate the GxE, investigate the genetic correlation between pairs of environments and for the set, and to study the productivity, stability and adaptability at 2 years of age for diameter at breast height (DBH) in five progenies trials of Eucalyptus urophylla, used in a randomized complete block design, with the number of progenies ranging from 138 to 167, four to eight blocks and five to six plants per plot. Estimates of variance components and genetic parameters were obtained using the REML/BLUP method. For analysis of productivity, stability and adaptability, the HMRPGV method was used. The highest DBH growth was observed in Anhembi (10.52 cm) and Uberaba (10.20 cm). Estimates considered high were obtained for the coefficient of individual additive genetic variation (>13.3%) and average heritability among progenies (>0.40), indicating the possibility of obtaining genetic gains by selection among progenies. The coefficient of determination of the GxE was 1.7%, a fact that led to a high value of genotypic correlation between the performance of the progenies and environments (78.1%), indicating that the interaction is simple. The first six progenies showed a coincidence of 100% in the order of stability (HMGV), adaptability (RPGV) and productivity (HMRPGV), being 13% higher than the overall mean of five experiments (9.21 cm). When ordering the progenies, the selection of the 20 best in growth led to an increase in gain ranging of from 10.4 to 70%. Anhembi is the ideal place to have a breeding population which will be good in the other places as well.

Mineralogía aplicada para la pequeña minería

La pequeña minería puede beneficiarse de una forma muy directa de los recientes avances en el campo de la mineralogía aplicada y técnicas relacionadas. La definición tipológica y la modelización de yacimientos han alcanzado tal nivel que pueden permitir derivar conclusiones de alcance práctico, para exploración o incluso para la consecución de créditos, con estudios petrológicos y mineralógicos relativamente sencillos y baratos. Igualmente la aplicación rigurosa de técnicas como el análisis digital de imagen a la microscopía de menas metálicas proporciona, con un coste muy limitado, gran cantidad de información que puede ser vital para controlar la eficiencia del proceso mineralúrgico y para la protección ambiental. Las investigaciones en curso en el Laboratorio de Mineralogía Aplicada muestran la utilidad de estos estudios en diversos casos prácticos en Iberoamérica. Un ejemplo puede ser la pequeña minería de Zaruma-Portovelo (Ecuador), con una tradición secular de beneficio de menas polimetálicas y de metales preciosos.
