The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of yield stability analysis models and to assess genotype × environment interaction effect on grain yield of 20 durum wheat genotypes for identifying high yielding and adapted genotypes by BLU and AMMI models using experimental data of four cropping cycles (2009-2013) in five filed stations in warm rainfed regions of Iran. The results of Like...

In order to decrease effect of genotype × environment interaction, yield and yield stability should be considered simultaneously. In present study, 24 bread wheat genotypes were evaluated in Gorgan and Gonbad agricultural stations in 2012-13 and 2013-14 cropping seasons. Experiments were conducted based on complete block designs with three replications at 6th December and February. Combined ana...

In order to evaluate water stress tolerance-related traits and their relationships in barley genotypes, as well as identification of drought tolerant genotypes, a field experiment was carried out during 2012-13 and 2013-14 growing seasons in College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Iran. Seventy four foreign barley genotypes and two Iranian varieties (Reyhan and Nosrat) were evaluated under n...

Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) in combination with cluster analysis and genotype by trait (GT) biplot analysis methods were used to assess 9 wheat cultivars having different degrees of tolerance along with 36 F1 hybrids derived from partial diallel crosses, using stress tolerance indices, in two levels (well watered and cessation of irrigation at pollination stage). Cluster analysis clas...

Existance of genotype × environment interaction effects are constraints in evaluation and release of new cultivars. In order to evaluate new high-yielding promising lines and assess their yield stability, an experiment was conducted with ten promising genotypes of rice and two control variety (Shiroudi and Fajr) in two regions of Mazandaran (Deputy of Rice Research Institute in Amol and Ghavdas...
