Prediction of selection differential for studied traits based on MTSI index.
| Row | Traits | Factor 1 | Goal | Xo | Xs | SD | SD percent | h2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Root yield (RY) | − 0.82 | Increase | 61.67 | 62.65 | 0.98 | 1.59 | 0.81 |
| 2 | White sugar yield (WSY) | − 0.94 | Increase | 8.75 | 9.21 | 0.46 | 5.27 | 0.85 |
| 3 | Sugar content (SC) | − 0.92 | Increase | 17.78 | 18.18 | 0.40 | 2.24 | 0.78 |
| 4 | Extraction coefficient of sugar (ECS) | − 0.87 | Increase | 79.52 | 80.89 | 1.37 | 1.72 | 0.80 |
Xo original value, Xs selected value, SD selection differential, SD perc selection differential in percentage, h2 broad sense heritability.
