Bean breeding programs have focused on the generation of early bush cultivars with higher yields, commercial acceptance and resistance to crop-limiting diseases. This study prioritized nutritional quality in terms iron (Fe) zinc (Zn) content bean grains grown three high tropical environments. Two five climbing were evaluated. The mineral was determined atomic absorption spectroscopy. results in...

Performance tests in multiple locations are essential to study the genotype x–environment interaction, as well identify superior genotypes and testing locations. The objective of this was evaluate adaptability stability rice hybrids inbred varieties for grain yield. Six experiments were conducted rice-producing areas Venezuela using a randomized complete block design during dry season 2015-2016...

Historically in plant breeding a large number of statistical models has been developed and used for studying genotype × environment interaction. These models have helped plant breeders to assess the stability of economically important traits and to predict the performance of newly developed genotypes evaluated under varying environmental conditions. In the last decade, the use of relatively low...

The intention of this paper is to show how the methods of nonlinear factor analysis as developed by McDonald (Br. J. Math. Stat. Psychol. 20:205215, 1967) can be used to study genotype-environment interaction. The method is applied to the interaction of genotype and within-family environmental influences. Simulated twin data are used to illustrate how this type o f interaction may be detected a...

the objective of this investigation was to evaluate the magnitude of g × e interaction effects on durum wheat grain yield and to identify superior genotypes adapted to the test environments. twenty improved durum wheat genotypes were tested in five locations over three growing seasons. combined anova indicated that the effect of year (y) was significant and that of the location (l) was not, but...
