چکیده
Yan, W. et Tinker, N. A. 2006. Biplot analysis of multi-environment trial data: Principles and applications. Can. J. Plant Sci. 86: 623–645. Biplot analysis has evolved into an important statistical tool in plant breeding and agricultural research. Here we review the basic principles of biplot analysis and recent developments in its application in analyzing multi-environment trail (MET) data, with the aim of providing a working guide for breeders, agronomists, and other agricultural scientists on biplot analysis and interpretation. The review is divided into four sections. The first section is a complete but succinct description of the principles of biplot analysis. The second section is a detailed treatment of biplot analysis of genotype by environment data. It addresses environment and genotype evaluation from all perspectives. The third section deals with biplot analysis of various two-way tables that can be generated from a three-way MET dataset, which is an integral and essential part to a fuller understanding and exploration of MET data. The final section discusses questions that are frequently asked about biplot analysis. Methods described in this review are available in a user-friendly, interactive software package called “GGEbiplot”.

CROP SCIENCE, VOL. 47, MARCH–APRIL 2007 641 ABSTRACT The use of genotype main effect (G) plus genotype-by-environment (GE) interaction (G+GE) biplot analysis by plant breeders and other agricultural researchers has increased dramatically during the past 5 yr for analyzing multi-environment trial (MET) data. Recently, however, its legitimacy was questioned by a proponent of Additive Main Effect ...

Abstract The evaluation of the yield stability of genotypes and environment is of prime concern to plant breeders. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the structure of the GE interaction is needed. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the use of sites regression (SREG) GGE methodology to stratify the pe × environment (GE) interaction in lentil. Yield data of 10 genotypes of le...
متن کاملApplication of GGE biplot graphs in multi-environment trials on selection of forest trees
In the studies on selection and population genetics of forest trees that include the analysis of genotype × environment interaction (GE), the use of biplot graphs is relatively rare. This article describes the models and analytic methods useful in the biplot graphs, which enable the analyses of mega-environments, selection of the testing environment, as well as the evaluation of genotype stabil...
