The exploring unpredictable effects of climatic changes as sowing dates across different seasons under Egyptian conditions on performance of faba bean cultivars will be of great benefit for sustainable production and food security. The determination of G x E interaction and stability in performance across different sowing dates is an important goal for breeding climate-resilient cultivars. Therefore, the present studies evaluated six faba bean cultivars possessed variable genetic backgrounds under four sowing dates extended from Mid-Oct to Dec of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons at Giza. The stability analyses of performance across the generated eight environments were performed using four parametric and two nonparametric measures of stability. The parametric dynamic approaches included S 2 di , b i and σ 2 i in addition to CV i % as static parameters. The two nonparametric stability approaches are rank-sum (RS i ) and yieldstability statistic (YS i ) as suggested by Kang.The environmental conditions affected highly significantly all faba bean traits. The studied cultivars varied significantly in performance for yield and components over all environments and from one environment to another for all characters except pods/plant, as proved by the significance of GEI. The fluctuations in climatic conditions seemed to have greater effects on performance of faba beans than their genetic background.Faba bean cultivars varied significantly for mean performance and extents of stability measured by all parameters except stability variance (σ 2 i ) and b i for SYP and SYPlot, respectively. For breeding faba bean promising cultivars, it should be screened under several environmental conditions and those showing reliable performance will be evaluated for stability by using variable parameters to avoid the violation of occurring statistical errors (either type I or type II), which may conflict the trustiness of recommended cultivars.
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.
