CINTRA, D. C. Genotype-environmental interactions and adaptability and stability parameters for growth traits in composite beef cattle in Brazil. Data from 111,101 weaning weight adjusted to 205 days (WW), 50,860 yearling weight adjusted to 390 days (YW) and 47,462 weight gain from weaning to yearling (WG) were analyzed to evaluated the genotype-environmental interactions and estimates adaptability parameters for seven genotype combinations of crossbreed beef cattle, raised in three environment of the Brazil.. The genotypeenvironmental interation effect was significative (P<0.01) for all de traits analyzed. The sum squares decompositions of genotype-environmental interations, were accomplishment by regression method for each trait analyzed. Were verified, through the slopes of the regression lines that, for WW, the animals considered as wide adaptability were genotype composition 7. The genotype compositions 2, 3 and 6 were considered of specific adaptability for favorable environments, and genotype compositions 1, 4 and 5 were classified as combinations with specific adaptability for unfavorable environments. For YW, the animals considered as wide adaptability were genotypes compositions 1 and 3. The genotype compositions 2, 6 and 7 were considered of specific adaptability for favorable environments and genotype compositions 4 and 5 were classified as combinations with specific adaptability for unfavorable environments. For WG, the animals with genotype composition 4 and 5 were considered as wide adaptability, while the genotype compositions 1, 2 and 3 were considered of specific adaptability for favorable environments and genotype compositions 6 and 7 were classified as combinations with specific adaptability for unfavorable environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
