Abstract:
Twenty-eight cross combinations obtained through crossing of seven female lines with four testers in line x tester mating fashion were evaluated to study stability and genotype x environment interactions for yield and yield contributing characters in rice over three different locations in Gujarat state of India during Kharif, 2021. The coincidence of genotypic performance with environmental values was observed for five characters studied (Grains per panicle, Straw yield per plant, Kernel length, Kernel breadth and Amylose content), evident from significant G x E (linear) mean square when tested against pooled deviation. This suggested that the performance of genotypes over environments could be predicted reasonably for these traits.
