Genotype x environment interaction for grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds under salinity stress

Abstract

An experiment was conducted on Maize (Zea mays L.) to investigate the genotype × environment interaction for gain yield of maize inbreds under salinity stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate G × E interactions and yield stability in multi-environmental trials across wide ecological stress environments. Prescreened thirteen maize inbred lines collected from CYMMT, India were evaluated for phenotypic traits at different salinity conditions (8dS, 12dS and 16dS) with normal environment. The environmental mean and genotypic mean ranged from 10.3 to 49.7 g and 10.9 to 52.8 g, respectively. The regression coefficient (bi) values of these genotypes ranged from 0.44 to 1.66. Among the genotypes P43, CZ29 and CZ33 produced higher grain yield and highly responsive under different salinity level. On the other hand considering the Pi, bi, S2di and AMMI bi-plot analysis the genotypes E32, P29 and P35 showed almost stable performance across the different salinity conditions.

Evaluation of yield attributes and bioactive phytochemicals of twenty amaranth genotypes of Bengal floodplain

“…All examined traits exhibited noteworthy deviations for ANOVA which specified a wide divergence in the traits among accessions. Previous studies also recorded similar variations in VA [ [65] , [66] , [67] ], Zea mays [ [68] , [69] , [70] , [71] ], Oryza sativa [ [72] , [73] , [74] , [75] , [76] ], Cocos nucifera [ 77 , 78 ], Abelmoschus esculenthus [ 79 , 80 ], Mungbean [ 81 , 82 ] and broccoli [ 83 ] genotypes for yield, its related traits, and bioactive phytochemicals.…”

Integrating BLUP, AMMI, and GGE Models to Explore GE Interactions for Adaptability and Stability of Winter Lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.)

“…Stability parameters regression coefficient (bi) and deviation from regression (S 2 di) were estimated for the studied traits following Eberhart and Russell's model [20]. The regression coefficient 'bi' is used to identify stable genotypes [21,47]. A genotype with a bi value <1.0 has above-average stability and is specially adapted to low-performing environments.…”

Genotype-by-environment interaction and stability analysis of grain yield of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes using AMMI and GGE biplot analyses

“…Trials involving multiple environments are crucial for identifying the best genotypes in different agroecological locations to ensure food security worldwide and plant breeding initiatives aim to generate new competitive, stable, and high yielding genotypes in a range of environmental conditions [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] ]. Stable and broadly adapted genotypes are largely determined by the interaction between genotype and environment [ [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] ]. To find sustainable solutions to problems related to the development and growth of plants with desirable yield, plant breeders are becoming more and more interested in genotype-environment interaction (GEI) [ [33] , [34] , [35] ], which literally describes how different genotypes function in different growing environments through different locations and cultivation years [ 36 ].…”
