Authors: E.U. Ramos Junior, R.L. Brogin, V.P.C. Godinho, F.J.E. Botelho, F.D. Tardin and P.E. Teodoro

Biplot analysis has often been used to recommend genotypes from different crops in the presence of the genotype x environment interaction (GxE). The objective of this study was to verify the association between the AMMI and GGE biplot methods and to select soybean genotypes that simultaneously meet high grain yield and stabili.. Read More»

Snap bean recommendation based on different methods of phenotypic stability

Authors: C.D. Marinho G.A. Gravina L.C. Ara�ºjo S.N.C. Almeida A.T. Amaral J�ºnior R.F. Daher L.S.A. Gon�§alves

In order to recommend the best strains of snap beans from the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense (UENF) breeding program, different methods of analysis of phenotypic stability were adopted to evaluate the performance of 14 lines (F9 and F10) of indeterminate growth habit, which were compared with 3 controls, namely, 2 commercial varieties (Feltrin ..

Non-parametric approach to the study of phenotypic stability

Authors: D.F. Ferreira1, S.B. Fernandes2, A.T. Bruzi3 and M.A.P. Ramalho2

The aim of this study was to undertake the theoretical derivations of non-parametric methods, which use linear regressions based on rank order, for stability analyses. These methods were extension different parametric methods used for stability analyses and the result was compared with a standard non-parametric method. Intensive computational methods (e.g..

Stability and adaptability of grain sorghum hybrids in the off-season

Authors: J.E. Almeida Filho, F.D. Tardin, R.F. Daher, T.C. Barb�©, C.M. Paula, M.J. Cardoso and V.P.C. Godinho

We analyzed productivity data obtained from experiments on grain sorghum conducted in 7 locations of its cultivation in Brazil. A total of 25 hybrids were analyzed, of which 22 were pre-commercial and 3 were cultivars. The Wricke and Purchase et al. methods were highly consistent in identifying individuals with low contributio.. Read More»

Adaptability and stability of genotypes of sweet sorghum by GGEBiplot and Toler methods

Authors: U.J. de Figueiredo, J.A.R. Nunes, R.A. da C. Parrella, E.D. Souza, A.R. da Silva, B.M. Emygdio, J.R.A. Machado and F.D. Tardin

Sweet sorghum has considerable potential for ethanol and energy production. The crop is adaptable and can be grown under a wide range of cultivation conditions in marginal areas; however, studies of phenotypic stability are lacking under tropical conditions. Various methods can be used to assess the stability of the crop. Some of these methods generate th.. Read More»
