Selection For Test Weight And Kernel Weight In High Yielding Wheat Using A Safety-First Index, Emre İlker, Meti̇n Altinbaş, Muzaffer Tosun

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Five breeding lines and 4 cultivars were grown in replicated trials at 1 location in 1999-2000 and 2 locations in 2000-2001 cropping seasons in İzmir in order to determine the usefulness of a safety-first selection index in making selection among high yielding wheat genotypes for test weight and thousand-kernel weight. Genotype × environment interactions were significant for these 2 quality traits. The regression coefficient (b_i) of genotypes, variance (Si_i^2) of a genotype across environments, and a safety-first index (I_i) were calculated to evaluate the stability of genotypes for test weight and thousand-kernel weights. Wheat genotypes with lower bi values and …

Interpreting Genotype × Environment Interaction In Bread Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Genotypes Using Nonparametric Measures, Zeki̇ Mut, Nevzat Aydin, Hasan Orhan Bayramoğlu, Hasan Özcan

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The objectives of this study were to compare nonparametric stability measures, and to identify promising high-yield and stable bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes in 7 environments during 2003-2005 in the central Black Sea region of Turkey. The bread wheat genotypes (20 advanced lines and 5 cultivars) were grown in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications in 7 different environments. Three nonparametric statistical tests of significance for genotype × environment (GE) interaction and 10 nonparametric measures of stability were used to identify stable genotypes in 7 environments. Combined ANOVA and nonparametric tests (Kubinger, Hildebrand, and De Kroon/Van der …
