This study aimed to evaluate the eggplant genotype x environment ineraction, using the REML/BLUP procedure, in order to identify genotypes with high productivity, adaptability and phenotypic stability. The experiments were carried out in agricultural greenhouses, in two seasons, with three types of shading: uncovered (UC); covered with plastic diffuser film (PD), 130 microns thick, covered with plastic diffuser film (130 micron) + 50% shading screen (SS). Twelve eggplant genotypes were evaluated, with four replicates and an experimental plot consisting of four plants. The traits evaluated in this study were: fruit set index, number of fruits per plant, average production of fruits/plant and in vitro pollen viability. To assess the adaptability and stability of the genotypes, statistical analyzes and estimation of genetic parameters were performed using the mixed-models of REML/BLUP type, with the aid of SELEGEN software and the statistical model 51. According to the results obtained, the authors verified an agreement between the three methods: Relative Performance of Genetic Values (PRVG), Harmonic Average of Genotypic Values (MHVG) and Harmonic Mean of Relative Performance of Genetic Values (MHPRVG) for average fruits production per plant (PP), number of fruits per plant (NF) and in vitro pollen viability (IVPV), showing the high degree of agreement in the ordering of materials. Thus, it is possible to indicate that the genotypes with the best productive performance, adaptability and stability in the evaluated environments were CNPH135×CNPH60, CNPH135×CNPH51, CNPH135×CNPH141, CNPH109, CNPH109×CNPH60 and CNPH109×CNPH141.
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.
