Twenty four hybrid rice varieties of diverse origin were studied for genetic variability, correlation and path analysis under medium high land of Gazipur. The PCV values were greater than GCV, revealing little influence of environment in character expression. High values of heritability along with moderate genetic advance were observed for panicle/m 2 , days to 50% flowering and plant height. Grain yield showed positive significant association with number of effective tillers/hill, panicle/m 2 , spikelet fertility and thousand grain weight at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. Same traits had highest significant positive effect on yield.
A study on genetic diversity was conducted with 54 Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) genotypes through Mohalanobis's D 2 and principal component analysis for twelve quantitative characters viz. plant height, number of secondary branch/plant, canopy breadth , days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, fruits/plant, 5 fruits weight, fruit length, fruit diameter, seeds/fruit, 1000 seed weight and yield/plant were taken into consideration. Cluster analysis was used for grouping of 54 chili genotypes and the genotypes were fallen into seven clusters. Cluster II had maximum (13) and cluster III had the minimum number (1) of genotypes. The highest inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster I and III and the lowest between cluster II and VII. The characters yield/plant, canopy breadth, secondary branches/plant, plant height and seeds/fruit contributed most for divergence in the studied genotypes. Considering group distance, mean performance and variability the inter genotypic crosses between cluster I and cluster III, cluster III and cluster VI, cluster II and cluster III and cluster III and cluster VII may be suggested to use for future hybridization program.
Twenty-six rice hybrids were evaluated at three locations. Data were normally distributed after running the Shapiro–Wilk test. Plant height and effective tillers/hills showed leptokurtic distribution, indicating these traits were controlled by fewer genes, whereas the rest of the attributes had platykurtic distribution, indicating these traits were controlled by many genes. Most of the traits were significant for variety, locations, and variety × locations. For yield stability, the data were analyzed using additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI), genotype and genotype–environment interaction (GGE), and Eberhart and Russell’s model. Among 26 hybrids, BRRI99A × BRRI38R and BRRI hybrid dhan5 exhibited high yields at three locations. BRRI99A × BRRI45R, BRRI99A × BRRI31R, IR79156A × BRRI38R, and BRRI hybrid dhan3 were selected for mega-environments: Gazipur and Ishwardi. Among the tested locations, Gazipur (E2) and Ishwardi (E3) were identified as mega-environments for the hybrid combinations, including BRRI99A × BRRI36R, BRRI99A × BRRI49R, IR79156A × BRRI31R, IR79156A × BRRI38R, BRRI hybrid dhan5, BRRI99A × BRRI38R, BRRI99A × BRRI45R, and BRRI99A × BRRI31R based on their average action and fixity. Gazipur and Ishwardi were the best environments because their discriminative and representative ability was remarkable. The hybrid assessment, as well as area selection for hybrid rice breeding in Bangladesh, were revealed in this study. The hybrid BRRI99A × BRRI38R, BRRI99A × BRRI36R, and IR79156A × Rline7 belonged to medium-to-long slender grain types. Nowadays, the citizens of Bangladesh prefer fine-grain rice. Therefore, these fine-grain hybrids can be cultivated as preferable commercial varieties at three locations, such as Barisal, Gazipur, and Ishwardi in Bangladesh. The stable hybrids identified in the current study can be recommended for cultivation throughout the whole country without compromising the loss of grain yield of rice.

This study determined the genotype × environment interaction (GEI) and stability performance of 12 promising rice genotypes in four environments during 2009 Aman season. The experiment used randomized complete block design with three replications. Yield stability and adaptability of yield performance were analyzed by combined analysis and additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model. The environment, genotype main effects, and the GEI were all highly significant (P<0.001). The study indicated that the tested genotypes, such as BRRHA G1 (5.47 tha-1), G2 (5.68 tha-1), G3 (6.29 tha-1) and G4 (5.27 tha-1) had higher average yields, which indicated these genotypes adapted to favourable environments (E1 and E3). Whereas the environment, E3 could be regarded as a more stable site for high yielding hybrid rice improvement than the other locations. Based on AMMI biplot analysis, genotypes BRRI1A/BRRI827R (G1), IR58025A/BRRI10R (G2), BRRI 10A/BRRI 10R (G3) and BRRI hybrid dhan1 (G4) have higher average mean yields with high main (additive) effects and positive IPCA1 score, among them BRRI 10A/BRRI10R (G3) being the overall best. Locations E1 and E3 could be regarded as a good selection site for rice hybrid improvement due to stable yields.Bangladesh Rice j. 2015, 19(2): 83-90
Genotype-environment interaction and stability performance were investigated on amylase, protein and grain yield with 13 hybrid rice promising combinations in five environments. The combined ANOVA showed that the mean sum of square due to genotype (G), environment (E) and G × E interaction were significant for amylose content, protein content and grain yield. This suggests a number of variabilities among the genotypes and environments as and the indicated genotypes interacted significantly with environments. The Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) biplot for yield clearly indicated that the hybrids BR10A/BR12R, II32A/BR15R, II32A/BR16R, II32A/BR10R, BR9A/BR15R, BRRI hybrid dhan2 and BRRI hybrid dhan3 were high yielding, stable and had general adaptability at all locations. The AMMI estimation had a profound effect in producing sharp and stratified ranking patterns and on this basis BRRI hybrid dhan2 would be considered more adapted to a wide range of environments than the rest of the genotypes. The biplot technique was used to identify appropriate genotype to special locations. This consideration on the basis of average yield for specific genotype to the specific location. The hybrid combination II32A/BR12R was more suitable for Gazipur location and the hybrid combination BR10A/BR13R was considered for Comilla region. Barisal was more stable site than other location for grain yield due to IPCA score near zero which had no interaction effect.
