Soybean Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is the world’s leading source of oil and protein. It has the highest protein content of all food crops and is second only to groundnut in terms of oil content among food legumes. Study on genotype x enviroment interaction (GE) and stability of twenty soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] genotypes was conducted for grain yield, oil and crude protein content at six...

Kibite and Edney, 1998; Cervantes-Martinez et al., 2001). Cervantes-Martinez et al. (2001) conducted one cycle Oat (Avena sativa L.) -glucan lowers serum cholesterol in huof phenotypic selection of individual S0 plants for greater mans. Thus, enhancing its content in oat cultivars for human consumption is desirable. Phenotypic selection for greater -glucan content -glucan content in two genetic...
