Financial support from the FAPESP (“Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo”), grants 2015/20659-2 and 2016/01279-7; the CNPq (“Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico”); and the CAPES (“Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior”) are gratefully acknowledged. Additional support was provided by Embrapa Beef Cattle and by UNIPASTO (“Associação para o Fomento à Pesquisa de Melhoramento de Forrageiras”) . Special acknowledgment goes to my advisor Prof. Antonio Augusto Franco Garcia for the support of my Ph.D study and for his academic and friendly advice as well as for being an example of professional for me. My sincere thanks also goes to Prof. Zhao-Bang Zeng, who provided me an opportunity to join his team as intern and for the several valuable discussions over six months of exchange abroad. I would also like to acknowledge the entire Embrapa Beef Cattle team, especially Dr. Mateus Figueiredo Santos and Dra. Liana Jank, for always being accessible, for their contributions and assistance. I learned a lot about forage breeding with them. I am also grateful to all the staff and professors of the courses Genetics and Plant Breeding, and Statistics and Agronomic Experimentation of ESALQ/USP, specially Prof. Gabriel Rodrigues Alves Margarido, Prof. Sílvio Zocchi, Berdan, Fernandinho, Valdir, and Léia. I would like to thank Dr. Mateus F. Santos, Dra. Bianca Baccili Zanotto Vigna, Prof. Roberto FritscheNeto, Prof. Gabriel R. A. Margarido, and Prof. A. Augusto F. Garcia for the evaluations and excellent contributions to this thesis. Thanks to all my friends and my friends from Statistical Genetic Lab (ESALQ/USP) . The “old group”: Adriana Cheavegatti, Carina Anoni, Danilo Cursi, Guilherme Pereira, João Ricardo Rosa, Luís Felipe Ferrão, Marcelo Mollinari, Maria Izabel Cavassim; the “new group”: Cristiane Taniguti, Gabriel Gesteira, Jhonathan Pedroso, Kaio Olímpio, Marianella Quezada, Matheus Krause, Rafael Nalin, Rodrigo Amadeu; and the “aggregates”: Amanda Avelar, Elaine Batista, Fernando Correr, and Thiago Oliveira.
