CO 2 assimilation and protection of PSII by a reduction of light harvesting capacity. The data further suggests that stress tolerant cultivars suppress cell death and maintain growth and development via fine tuning of hormone signaling, and primary and secondary metabolism. This study highlights potential targets for the development of stress tolerant potato cultivars.
estimated by using different stability parameters. GE interaction was found to be significant for both yield components, and genotype main effect contributed more than environment and GE interaction to total variability. Total storage root yield varied from 6.72 to 112.60 t ha -1 , depending on genotypes and environments. The introduced genotypes produced a higher yield than local genotypes. Our study revealed that sweetpotato has a great adaptability and yield potential in irrigated Mediterranean-type and semi-arid environments, whereas non-traditional production areas such as Adana, Diyarbakir, and Sanliurfa may be more suitable for sweetpotato production than Hatay, the traditional production area, because of the potential for higher yield. The AMMI model appeared to be a better option for evaluating both GE interaction and the stability of sweetpotato genotypes in multilocational trials. The stability parameters tested in this study could not identify high yielding and stable genotypes. The genotype × environment (GE) interaction was evaluated for two yield components (mean storage root weight and storage root yield) using the joint regression analysis and the Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) analysis. Stability of the genotypes over environments was H05011;
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.
