Summary Genotype x environment (GE) interaction encountered in experiments complicates genotype selection and varietal recommendation. The integration of yield and stability of genotypes into a single parameter may make selection and recommendation easier. Kang developed a rank-sum method that allows selection for both yield and the stability variance statistics (
i
2
or s
i

) of Shukla. The objective of this research was to compare the rank-sum selection method to selection based on yield alone in five international maize (Zea mays L.) yield trials. Ranks were assigned for yield (the highest mean yield received a rank of 1) and for
i
2
and s
i
2
(the lowest value received a rank of 1). The yield and
i
2
ranks and/or the yield and s
i
2
ranks for each genotype were summed. Each trial contained two reference entries (REs). Yield rank or rank-sum of each genotype was compared to yield rank or rank-sum of the best RE (BRE). GE interaction was significant for all trials. Heterogeneity in the GE interaction due to the linear effect of a covariate (differences in fertility and/or cultural practices) was significant in Trials 1, 2, and 5. Overall, in all trials, 29 genotypes were selected on the basis of yield alone. On the basis of
i
2
and yield rank-sum, 32 genotypes were identified, with 11 being lower yielding than the 29 yield-based selections. On the basis of s
i
2
and yield rank-sum, 31 genotypes were selected, with 11 being lower yielding than the yield-bases selections. Obviously, yield is sacrificed when the rank-sum method is used in the selection process. However, selection based on yield alone may not be adequate when GE interaction is significant because of testing in diverse environments. 相似文献

Summary A major objective of the CIMMYT Maize Program is to develop open-pollinated varieties of maize (Zea mays L.) that are well adapted to a wide range of environments. To achieve this breeding goal, it is essential that the program use a stability technique that will identify high-yielding, stable genotypes accurately in international trials conducted under different environmental conditions. The objective of this study was to compare a spatial method with a modified conventional regression analysis method to determine the yield stability of 27 CIMMYT maize varieties evaluated at 37 locations. The methods also were compared on the basis of their consistency in assessing the stability of varieties when certain locations were omitted, and when subsets of varieties were analyzed. The varieties found to be stable by the spatial method with all sites included in the analysis were also stable (1) when the lowest and highest yielding sites were excluded from the analyses, and (2) when the varieties were considered, along with others, as a subset of the original group of materials. Stability parameters determined by regression analysis, however, varied for some varieties when (1) extreme sites were excluded, and (2) a subset of entries was considered in isolation. Because the spatial method was more consistent in identifying high-yielding stable varieties, it was considered the more useful of the two methods. 相似文献

The suitability of regression analysis for studying the phenotypic stability of grain yield was investigated using a collection of 220 Nordic barley lines. Linear regression explained 26–52% of the genotype x environment (GE) interactions in different groupings of the material. The regression coefficient, b
i
, measures the yield response of the i-th genotype to improved environmental conditions. Deviations from regression, S
di
2
, have been used to estimate Tai's stability parameter,
i
, which is a measure of the phenotypic yield stability in the agronomic sense. Repeatability of b
i
,
i
, and grain yield was studied by means of correlations between estimates obtained in each experimental year. Yield had the highest repeatability, with correlations between years ranging from 0.57 to 0.85. In this study, regression coefficients and
i
-values were not repeatable, i.e. genotypes reacted differentially to the yearly climatic variations. Six-rowed (6r) barleys had higher responsiveness, but lower mean yields, than two-rowed (2r) barleys. This is partly due to the history of selection of 6r-barleys, which mainly originate from regions with low potential yield levels, i.e. Finland and Norway. In general, responsiveness and stability were not correlated with yield. The highest-yielding lines had b
i
1. The response pattern of the different types of barleys used in this study show that responsiveness can be changed by recombination. 相似文献

Facing the trend of increasing population, how to increase maize grain yield is a very important issue to ensure
food security. In this study, 28 nationally approved maize hybrids were evaluated across 24 different climatic conditions for two consecutive years (2018–2019). The purpose of this study was to select high-yield with stable genotypes and identify important agronomic traits for maize breeding program improvement. The results of this
study showed that the genotype ╳ environment interaction effects of the 12 evaluated agronomic traits was highly
significant (P < 0.001). We introduced a novel multi-trait genotype-ideotype distance index (MGIDI) to select
genotypes based on multiple agronomic traits. The selection process exhibited by this method is unique and easy
to understand, so the MGIDI index will have more and more important applications in future multi-environment
trials (METs) research. The genotypes selected by the MGIDI index were G22, G10, G12 and G1 as the high yielding and stable genotypes. The parents of these selected genotypes have the ability to play a greater role as the basic
germplasm in the breeding process. A new form of genotype (G) main effects and genotype (G) -by-environment
(E) interaction (GGE) technician, genotype*yield*trait (GYT) biplot, based on multiple traits for genotypes selection was also applied in this study. The GYT biplot ranked genotypes by combining grain yield with other evaluated agronomic traits, and displayed the distribution of their traits, namely strengths and weaknesses. 相似文献

Summary Repeatability of mean downy mildew (Sclerospora graminicola (Sacc.) Schroet.) incidence, regression coefficients and deviation mean squares were investigated for 25 pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides (Burm.) Stapf. & Hubb.) genotypes in 20 environments by correlating arrays of these stability parameters over subsets of the 20 environments arranged according to the year-wise, random, stratified and extreme methods of environmental division. Correlation coefficients between arrays of mean downy mildew incidence from different pairs of subsets ranged from 0.57 to 0.98 and those of deviation mean squares from 0.58 to 0.96 indicating good repeatability of these parameters. Arrays of regression coefficients from different subsets, on the other hand, showed correlation coefficients that ranged from –0.58 to 0.96. Apparently, the regression index of stability was not repeatable for the genotypes and environments studied. Therefore, in order to identify a widely adapted genotype, testing is required to be carried out over a wider range of environments. 相似文献

The fact that apomictic taxa typically occupy a wider range of environments than their sexual relatives has generated the hypothesis that apomicts are more likely to possess “general-purpose genotypes,” i.e., genotypes whose performance is relatively insensitive to changes in environmental conditions. This hypothesis was tested by cloning sexual and apomictic females of Antennaria parvifolia (Asteraceae) and growing each genotype in six growth-chamber environments varying in temperature and moisture levels. A joint regression analysis revealed that the survival of apomictic genotypes was significantly less sensitive to environmental conditions than that of sexual genotypes but demonstrated no differences with regard to flowering or biomass. However, the coefficient of variation in biomass across the six environments was significantly lower for apomicts than for sexuals, and the geometric mean of survival over the six environments was significantly higher for apomicts. Apomicts significantly exceeded sexuals in mean survival, mean flower-head production, and mean biomass. These results support the hypothesis that apomictic genotypes are more “general-purpose” than sexuals, and increase the difficulty of explaining the persistence of sexual reproduction in A. parvifolia. 相似文献

Summary Maximum yield under highly unpredictable environments should be associated with selection of genotypes with superior performance across good and poor environments. Several stability parameters have been proposed to identify superior genotypes over a wide range of environments. None of these has been used as selection criteria, however, because of their low heritability. The objective of the study presented here was to compare the relative efficiency of predicted gain from indirect selection among three stability parameters: the coefficient of regression (b), deviation from regression (S
d
2
), and principal components scores (PC) from the AMMI model; two indices including mean yield and a stability parameter; and three indices involving yield at the best, the worst, and an intermediate environment. Two hundred S1 families from each of two sorghum populations (TP24D and KP9B) were evaluated at four dry-land evironments over 2 years. The low heritability estimates and the low genetic correlation between the various stability parameters and mean yield resulted in their low relative efficiency as indirect selection criteria for high yield across environments. However, when the parameters were combined with mean yield over all to create indices, the relative efficiency increased for all the environments. In terms of resource allocation, these indices were not as efficient as mean productivity, rank summation, and selection index that involved fewer environments in their estimation.Contribution no. 9820 of Agricultural Research Division, Univ. of Neb. and no. 92-203-J of Kansas Exp.

Both yield and quality traits for stover portion were important for forage and biofuel production utility in maize. A high-oil maize inbred GY220 was crossed with two normal-oil dent maize inbred lines 8984 and 8622 to generate two connected F2:3 populations with 284 and 265 F2:3 families. Seven yield and quality traits were evaluated under two environments. The variance components of genotype (σg2), environment (σe2) and genotype × environment interactions (σge2) were all significant for most traits in both populations. Different levels of correlations were observed for all traits. QTL mapping was conducted using composite interval mapping (CIM) for data under each environment and in combined analysis in both populations. Totally, 45 and 42 QTL were detected in the two populations. Only five common QTL across the two populations, and one and three common QTL across the two environments in the two populations were detected, reflecting substantial influence of genetic backgrounds and environments on the results of QTL detection for stover traits. Combined analysis across two environments failed to detect most QTL mapped using individual environmental data in both populations. Few of the detected QTL displayed digenic epistatic interactions. Common QTL among all traits were consistent with their correlations. Some QTL herein have been detected in previous researches, and linked with candidate genes for enzymes postulated to have direct and indirect roles in cell wall components biosynthesis. 相似文献

Summary Regression analyses on grain yield of 20 hybrid and 13 composite varieties of pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides (Burm. S. & H.)) evaluated at 19 sites in India were performed to assess their relative stability and to compare different measures of environmental values. A large portion of the significant genotype X environment interactions was attributed to the non-linear component and deviations mean squares (Sdi
2) were a very important parameter for selection of stable varieties. The mean grain yield was positively associated with regression coefficients and deviations mean squares. The hybrids MH 31, MH 35, MH 36 and MH 62 and composite populations MP 16, MP 31 and MP 36 possessed general adaptability. The use of dependent, independent and near-independent measures of environmental values has been found to have little influence on the general interpretation of regression analysis in pearl millet. 相似文献

A maize synthetic population was improved for resistance to the Mediterranean corn borer (MCB, Sesamia nonagrioides) while maintaining yield. The objectives of this research were to investigate whether yield and yield stability of the maize synthetic population named EPS12 were affected by selection for MCB resistance; also to determine which genotypic and environmental covariates could explain the genotype (G), environment (E) and genotype × environment (GE) effects for yield under corn borer infestation. Plants from three cycles of selection and their testcrosses to three inbred testers (A639, B93 and EP42) were evaluated at two locations in 2 years, under MCB and European corn borer infestations. After selection EPS12 was a more stable genotype. Hybrids derived from crosses between B93 and inbreds obtained from the initial cycles of selection could be recommended for cultivation in northern Spain. The yield of crosses between cycles of selection and testers increased when there were fewer days with temperatures >25°C and higher mean maximum temperatures. Differences in yield among these genotypes were mostly explained by resistance to corn borer attack. In general, among EPS12-derived materials, genetic characteristics that contribute to increased grain yield were also responsible for increased abiotic stress tolerance. 相似文献

Selection of diverse genotypes for heterosis in yield and response in toria (Brassica campestris L.)
Singh D. Gupta P. K. 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》1985,69(5-6):515-517
Summary Thirty-one genotypes of toria (Brassica campestris L.) were grown in twelve environments and subsequently analysed in order to select potential parents which expressed diversity for both 12 different characters (estimated by Mahalanobis' D2 technique) and response to the environments (estimated on the basis of negative correlation between deviations in seed yield of a pair of genotypes from their respective environmental means). Coefficients of determination (r2) were also used to measure the reliability of correlation, which is the basis of diversity of response. Stability parameters (b and S2d) and mean seed yield were also considered in selecting potential parents. On the basis of these criteria, three pairs of genotypes (ITSA and TCSU-1, TCSU-7 and TH-8 and Ludhiana Composite-1 and TH-4) are recommended to be used as parents for hybridization programmes so that heterosis both in seed yield and response may be exploited. 相似文献

Summary Adaptation reactions of 33 genotypes of safflower Carthamus tinctorius L. were studied under 7 different climatic conditions. The genotpyes were divided into two sets. Set I consisted of 15 genotpyes selected from the local populations. Set II had 15 introduced and local varieties. Three control genotpyes, Ute, Ferio, and Local Arak, were common to both sets.Genotpye-environment interaction was not significant for Set I but it was highly significant for Set II. Three environmental indices were obtained and used in the adaptation analyses of the genotpyes in Set II. One of the environmental indices, designated EI, was dependent on the genotypes of Set II. The other two indices, designated EI-1 and EI-2, were independent of the genotpyes of Set II. The methods of Eberhart and Russell (1966) were used in analyses of adaptation by Index EI and the methods of Freeman and Perkins (1971) for Indices EI-1 and EI-2.The mean square associated with genotype-environment interaction was partitioned into two components, heterogeneity of regression and its residual, under EI-1 and EI-2. Both components were highly significant for both cases. However, the mean square of heterogeneity of regression was equal to its residual under EI-1 and even smaller than its residual under EI-2. These observations indicate that a major part of genotpye-environment interaction can not be accounted for by differences in the regressions of the individual genotypes. As well as this overall test, individual regression analyses for single genotypes were also considered. None of the genotypes had significant regression mean square under EI-1. Only two introduced genotypes had significant regression mean squares when EI-2 was used. The overall test of equality of the slopes of the regression for the genotypes of Set II was rejected at the 1% level under EI. This test indicated that genotypes of Set II were significantly different in their association with the EI. The significant differences among the genotypes of Set II were also shown by an F test of the pooled deviation mean square divided by the pooled error mean square. Individual regression analyses for single genotpyes of Set II were considered under EI. Mixed adaptation reactions were observed for different genotypes. Among 18 genotypes of Set II, regression mean squares were significant for only 10 genotpyes. Therefore, it appeared that the dependent environmental indices are more useful than the independent environmental indices when statistical theory of regression is used in the analysis of adaptation. Observations in the present study were not in agreement with the hypothesis that the relation between the performance of different genotypes in the various environments and some measure of these environments is linear or nearly so.Among the 12 introduced genotypes, only one, Ute, was identified as stable and high-yielding. Among the 15 selected from the locally adapted populations, eleven did not differ significantly from Ute in mean yield but four exceeded Ute significantly in mean productivity. The present study thus indicates that the Iranian safflower breeding project has been successful in identifying genotpyes which give high and stable yields under diverse environmental conditions. It does not indicate that introduced and exotic germplasms are unimportant in the breeding projects; it is quite possible that still more desirable genotypes can be developed by incorporating introduced genetic variability into the local germplasm.Associate Professors and Plant Breeder 相似文献

Genetic properties of four types of stability parameter 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary The genetic properties of four types of stability parameter for individual genotypes were investigated using a set of diallel cross data (28 genotypes x four locations x 3 years). The specific parameters studied were: the variance of a genotype across environments (T1); the genotype x environment (GE) interaction effect for a genotype, squared and summed across all environments (T2); the residual mean square (MS) of deviations from the regression of a genotype on an environmental index (T3); and years within locations MS for a genotype, averaged over all locations (T4). Each stability statistic was fitted to the additive model, based on the assumption that if the stability parameter is heritable, stability of F1 is most likely to be the average stability of its parents. The results showed that T1 and T4 were additive, but T2 and T3 were not. A study of the consistency of stability rankings between two seeding rates over the same set of environments showed a similar pattern. It appears that stability parameters of types 1 and 4 are heritable, and thus useful for selection, while those of types 2 and 3 are nonheritable, and thus not useful.Contribution No. R-029 相似文献

Eighteen genotypes of soybean were grown in five locations in Nigeria. The heritability estimates for seed yield were generally low, ranging from 22.6% to 45.3%. Joint regression analysis indicated the presence of genotype x environment, although a large proportion was non-linear. The genotypes responded differently to environments, highlighting the possibility of breeding for specific environments. The correlation of regression coefficients with mean yield indicated that high yielding genotypes were responsive to changing environments. The simultaneous selection parameters Pi, S3 and rank-sums gave somewhat similar results but Pi produced higher yielding genotypes than others. The correlation between Pi and rank-sum indicated that either of the techniques could be employed during selection. 相似文献

This study was carried out in Desert Research Center and Faculty of Agriculture, Zagazig University, Egypt, under North Sinai conditions during three growing seasons, i.e., summer 2018, fall 2018/2019 and summer 2019 to assess the effect of radiation mutants on leaf histological features and genetic stability of the productivity of some potato cultivars under drought stress conditions. Results reveal that the genotypes can be statistically classified based on regression coefficient (bi), deviation from regression (S2di) to 4 groups (with low in S2di are considered in all groups) as: (i) Genotype with elevated average, bi = 1, it is considered as stable genotype where Cara cultivar (both generations) was included. (ii) Genotype with elevated average, bi > 1 as genotype with average stability where spunta cultivar was involved. (iii) Genotype with low mean, bi < 1 as genotype with low stability where hermes (both primary (M1) and secondary (M2) radiated generations) and Caruso (2nd generation) cultivars were involved. (iv) Genotypes including a few bi values in one generation, as genotype including low stability but are not recommended for use in this generation where Caruso cv in M1 was included. The results indicated that 20 Gy irradiation exposure revealed that Spunta cultivar produced markedly high mean combined over yield during M1 (11.771 ton/fed) and M2 (10.97 ton/fed) generations than other genotypes and ranked first over all environments. It proves that Hermes could be employed as anti-stress genotypes under stress conditions (negative conditions or poor yielding). However, spunta followed by cara cv. represented a good performance in M2 production yield (10.97 and 8.51 ton/fed, respectively), slight drift from the regression line and coefficient close to 1, therefore, both cultivars were excellent between genotypes in shape of yield stability and is recommended for different conditions. According to anatomical studies, 80 % from field capacity (FC) decreased the thickness of medvein and lamina of potato cv. spunta, also, dimensions of medvein bundle and mean diameter of vessels. In conclusion, plants treated with gamma ray at level 20 and grown under 80 % FC induced prominent increase in all previous characters. 相似文献

Summary Selection in the F3 generation for seed yield, fruiting branches/plant, effective pods/plant, and seed index (100-seed weight) was carried out in two chickpea crosses. Sixty F5 lines (15 lines/selection criterion) along with check variety were evaluated for seed yield in three distinct environments. The effects of selection criteria on yield stability was examined using linear regression approach and genotype-grouping technique. There were no differences between selection criteria for linear yield responses of F5 lines to different environments. Within all four selection criteria the lines showed similar linear responses. The non-linear component was relatively higher for lines selected for effective pods and seed index than lines selected for yield and fruiting branches. On the basis of mean yield and coefficient of variation across environments, the seed index was the least effective selection criterion for developing high yielding and stable lines. When the results of stability parameters and genotype-grouping technique were considered together, selection for yield and fruiting branches was highly effective for isolating stable and high yielding lines. 相似文献

Flooding-induced changes in leaf gas exchanges, grain yield, and yield-related parameters of mungbean were evaluated employing
two flood-tolerant (GK48 and VC3945A) and one flood-susceptible (Vo1982A-G) genotypes. Three flooding regimes viz. 1, 3 and
7-day were imposed at vegetative, flowering, and pod-fill stages. Flooding caused a drastic reduction in photosynthesis rates
(P
n), irrespective of flooding duration. However, the flooded plants recovered P
n to a large extent depending on genotypes. Used genotypes showed a significant variation in P
n during and after flooding. Post-flooding recovery in P
n of GK48 and VC3945A was more pronounced at the vegetative and flowering stages than the pod-fill stage. At the pod-fill stage,
only plants of GK48 survived when flooding prolonged for 7 days. Flooded plants showed higher intercellular CO2 concentrations (C
i), and reduced stomatal conductance (g
s). However, during recovery, P
n increased significantly along with reduced C
i in flood-tolerant GK48 and VC3945A genotypes. In contrast, C
i remained high and P
n recovery was minimal in flood-susceptible Vo1982A-G genotype. This implies that mesophyll tolerance rather than stomatal
factor might be the major limitation of P
n recovery in a susceptible genotype. Very weak relationship between P
n and transpiration rate (T
r) indicated low water use efficiency (WUE) in flooded plants, but subsequent recovery of both the parameters, suggesting higher
WUE, particularly in tolerant genotypes. Seed yield of mungbean was the product of number of pods per plant and seed size,
and longer the flooding period, the lower were the pods per plant at the flowering and pod-fill stage. Flooding reduced seed
yield in all the three genotypes, but the extent of reduction was much less in flood-tolerant GK48 and VC3945A. Higher yield
of flood-tolerant genotypes may be attributed to the rapid recovery of leaf gas exchanges. 相似文献

The relationship between seedling growth and grain yield under drought conditions in maize and triticale genotypes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effects of drought stress on seedlings?? growth and grain yield of 13 single cross maize hybrids and 11 breeding lines and cultivars of spring triticale were studied in greenhouse and field experiments. In the field experiment, the drought susceptibility index (DSIGY) was calculated by determining the change in grain yield (GY) in conditions with two soil moisture levels (IR, irrigated; D, drought). In the greenhouse experiment the response to soil drought was evaluated using DSIDW, by determining changes in the dry weight (DW) of vegetative plant parts. Marked variations in GY and DW were observed among the studied genotypes. In control conditions, the GY and DW in drought-sensitive genotypes were higher compared to the drought-resistant ones; but in drought conditions, the decreases in GY and DW in resistant genotypes were smaller than in drought-sensitive ones. DSIGY and DSIDW revealed variations in the degree of drought tolerance among the examined maize and triticale genotypes. The values of DSIGY in the field experiment and DSIDW in the greenhouse experiment enabled a division of the studied genotypes into drought-resistant or -sensitive groups. A close correlation between DSIGY and DSIDW was found. The positive linear correlation and determination coefficients between DSIGY and DSIDW were statistically significant (P?=?0.05), being equal to R 2?=?0.614 (maize) and R 2?=?0.535 (triticale). The ranking of the studied genotypes based on DSIGY was in most cases consistent with the ranking based on DSIDW, which indicates that genetically conditioned drought tolerance is similar for plants in the seedling and reproductive growth stages or may at least partly have a common genetic background. 相似文献

The vast majority of reported QTL mapping for maize (Zea mays L.) traits are from temperate germplasm and, also, QTL by environment interaction (QTL × E) has not been thoroughly evaluated
and analyzed in most of these papers. The maize growing areas in tropical regions are more prone to environmental variability
than in temperate areas, and, therefore, genotype by environment interaction is of great concern for maize breeders. The objectives
of this study were to map QTL and to test their interaction with environments for several traits in a tropical maize population.
Two-hundred and fifty-six F2:3 families evaluated in five environments, a genetic map with 139 microsatellites markers, and the multiple-environment joint
analysis (mCIM) were used to map QTL and to test QTL × E interaction. Sixteen, eight, six, six, nine, and two QTL were mapped
for grain yield, ears per plant, plant lodging, plant height, ear height, and number of leaves, respectively. Most of these
QTL interacted significantly with environments, most of them displayed overdominance for all traits, and genetic correlated
traits had a low number of QTL mapped in the same genomic regions. Few of the QTL mapped had already been reported in both
temperate and tropical germplasm. The low number of stable QTL across environments imposes additional challenges to design
marker-assisted selection in tropical areas, unless the breeding programs could be directed towards specific target areas. 相似文献

Invasion of alien species has led to serious problems, including the destruction of native ecosystems. In general, invasive species adapt to new environments rapidly, suggesting that they have high genetic diversity that can directly influence environmental adaptability. However, it is not known how genomic architecture causes genetic diversity that leads to invasiveness. Recent studies have showed that the proportion of duplicated genes (PD) in whole animal genomes correlate with environmental variability within a habitat. Here, we show that PD and propagule size significantly explain the differences in species categories (invasive species, noninvasive species, and parasites). PD correlated negatively with the propagule size. The residual values of regression of PD on propagule size revealed that the invasive species had higher PD values and larger propagule size than those of the noninvasive species, whereas the parasites had lower PD values and smaller propagule size than those of others. There were no correlations between the invasive species and other genomic factors including the genome size, number of genes, and certain gene families. Our results suggest that the PD values of a genome might be a potential genomic source causing genetic variations for adaptation to diverse environments. The results also showed that the invasiveness status of a species would be predicted by the residual values of regression of PD on propagule size. Our innovative approach provides a measure to estimate the environmental adaptability of organisms based on genomic data. 相似文献
