Drought is an abiotic environmental stress that can significantly reduce crop productivity. We examined the mode of inheritance for different biochemical traits including total soluble proteins, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, total phenolic contents and enzymatic antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase), and their relationship with Bacillus thu...

In population genetic study, one of the first analyses is to explore the relationships among the frequencies of alleles within or between loci. Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium is tested for two alleles of a single locus, and the linkage disequilibrium is tested for an allele from each of two loci. Although the equilibrium plays an important role and often serves as a basis for genetic inference, res...

Our long-term goal is to develop wheat cultivars that will improve the profitability and competitiveness of organic producers in Nebraska and the Northern Great Plains. Our approach is to select in early generations for highly heritable traits that are needed for both organic and conventional production (another breeding goal), followed by a targeted organic breeding effort with testing at two ...

Evaluation of Stability and Adaptability in the Selected Lines Some Iranian Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) by AMMI GGE Biplot Methods

Evaluation of Resistance to Leaf Spot Diseases and Yield Characteristics in Faba Bean Genotypes through Cluster Analysis Genotype by Trait Biplot

The study of adaptability and yield stability is essential for the selection recommendation new cultivars. Thus, this determined black bean genotypes cultivar using a GGE biplot. To end, nine trials were carried out at different locations in state Rio de Janeiro. Eleven evaluated three growing seasons, randomized block design, with replications. Adaptability grain analyzed by biplot method. eff...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the reaction of common bean lines to white mold, the aggressiveness of different Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates from various common bean production areas in Brazil, and comparison of the diallel and GGE (genotype main effect plus genotype-by-environment interaction) biplot analysis procedures via study of the line-by-isolate interaction. Eleven common ...

Correspondence analysis, when used to understand relationships in a table of counts (for example, abundance data in ecology), has been criticized as being too sensitive to objects (for example, species) that occur with very low frequency or in very few samples. Here I show that this criticism is generally unfounded. This is demonstrated in several data sets by calculating the actual contributio...
