TL;DR: The results allow to postulate that path analysis application on the degree of severe multicolinearity produces results with no biological importance for the plant breeder, although this limitation can be easily identified and corrected through path analysis with colinearity employing a constant on diagonal axis of X’X matrix.

TL;DR: The results presented in the 2nd observation phase suggest that the stay-green trait is controlled by only one gene with two alleles and gene activity with high predominance of additive effects and to a lesser degree, a partial dominance for stay green.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the influence of eight characters of agronomic importance on the production of grains for unit of area, in Lages/SC, in 1996/97.

TL;DR: The coefficients of canonical correlations indicate that, in programs bean genetic improvement programs, to increase the production of grains one should select plants with larger number of pods per plant in order to obtain plants with higher stature and longer cycle.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that the interaction component has great relevance in the estimates of genetic gains, evidencing that this influence should be considered in the selection and in the recommendation of specific genotypes of bean breeding programs.
