Abstract

The phenomenon of genotype × environment interaction has important implications for selection of superior genotypes which remains as one of the main goals of crop breeding programs. To investigate the seed yield stability of promising spring rapeseed lines in four field stations in southern warm and dry and northern warm and humid agro-climatic zones of Iran. Sixteen open pollinated spring promising rapeseed lines were sown in randomized complete block design with three replications in two cropping cycles (2015-16 and 2016-17). Combined analysis of variance revealed that the effect of environment on seed yield was significant (P < 0.01). Genotype × environment interaction effect was also significant (P < 0.01) on seed yield. GGE biplot analysis identified four mega-environments; Gorgan (Line G8), Sari (Line G4), Sari-Zabol (Line G13) and Zabol (Line G7). Lines G4 (Asa), G8 (Roshana) and G13 (Aram) with average seed yield of 2714, 3349 and 3817 kg ha-1, respectively, had higher seed yield and yield stability. Line G4 had the highest seed yield stability. Line G11 (RGS003) with 2155 kg ha-1 was identified as low yielding with low seed yield stability. Generally, grouping of spring rapeseed lines based on genotype × environment interaction using GGE biplot analysis is a useful approach for selection and releasing of spring rapeseed cultivars with high seed yield potential and yield stability for target environments.
