In order to identify drought tolerant chickpea genotypes, an experiment was conducted in the west of Iran, during 2007-2009 cropping seasons. Several selection indices were used to illustrate genotypic differences in response to drought stress. The results of combined analysis of variance showed that year, genotype, stress conditions and their interaction effects were highly significant. Correl...

Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) yields are noticeably poor due to a shortage of improved varieties and an aggravated narrow genetic base. An attempt was made isolate novel blackgram mutants by selecting for yield-related traits derived through gamma irradiation testing the mutant genotype’s stability across different environments. The irradiated populations M1-M5 were established in backgro...

Sweet potato breeding in Africa, more especially Nigeria, has mainly focused on improving productivity farmers' fields and fresh root consumption. In order to target the program, study was conducted estimate magnitude of genotype × environment interaction (G E) select stable high yielding sweet genotypes for yield Cylas severity two locations, identify most discriminating representative test en...

Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) is a major disease that can cause up to 90% yield loss in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The presence of 8 physiological races Foc (0, 1A, 1B/C, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) makes it complex task the development disease-resistant cultivar. Thus, Pyramiding 1, 4 was undertaken using WR 315 as donor Pusa 372 recurrent parent through Marker assisted backcross...

Purpose. Identification of spring barley promising breeding lines with combination adaptive traits under conditions the central part Ukrainian Forest-Steppe. Methods. Field trial, laboratory-field analysis drought tolerance, statistical and graphical experimental data. Results. The variance AMMI model showed that largest contribution to general variation (85.78%) had environmental (years resear...

The genotype–environment interaction causes difficulties in selecting stable and ideal soybean cultivars across crop rotation models. Thus, this study aimed to provide the best estimates of yields every model for recommendations rainfed agroforestry system using GGE biplot EBLUP. In study, productivity stability 15 were evaluated four models, that is, planting after fallow (F–S), maize (M–S), r...
