Abstract

The GGE (genotype main effect, G and genotype by environment interaction, GEI) biplot graphical tool was applied to analyze multi-environment trials (MET) data. In this study, eight improved and local rice genotypes including two rice cultivars as check were evaluated with the objective of selecting stable and high-yielding varieties by GGE biplot analysis. According to which-won-where pattern of GGE biplot the vertex genotypes were BC25, BC4, RI18446-13, Hassani, Abjiboji and RI18435-13. These genotypes were the best or the poorest genotypes in some or all of the test environments since they had the longest distance from the origin of the biplot. The performance of genotypes BC9, BC25, RI18436-46 and Saleh were highly stable and had the highest grain yield, while genotype BC4 was high yielding with intermediate stability. In addition, performance of genotype RI18446-13 was lowly stable with the high grain yield and genotype RI18435-13 was poor based on both stability and yield. But the performance of genotype Hassani was intermediate stable with low grain yield, while genotypes Abjiboji and RI18430-74 were highly stable with low yielding. Totally, the results of this research showed that BC4 line (derived from a backcross between Abjiboji cultivar as recurrent parent and Saleh cultivar as donor parent) with high grain yield (5.0-5.5 t.ha-1), suitable maturity time (110-115 days), intermediate amylose content (20-21 %) and desirable plant height (105-110 cm) was the superior genotype of this experiment which is recommended to cultivate in environmental conditions of the north provinces of Iran.
