Understanding genotype by environment interaction (GEI) is important for crop improvement because it aids in the recommendation of cultivars and the identification of appropriate production environments. The objective of this study was to determine the magnitude of GEI for the grain yield of wheat grown under rain-fed conditions in Zambia by using the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model. The study was conducted in 2015/16 at Mutanda Research Station, Mt. Makulu Research Station and Golden Valley Agricultural Research Trust (GART) in Chibombo. During2016/17, the experiment was performed at Mpongwe, Mt. Makulu Research Station and GART Chibombo, Zambia. Fifty-five rain-fed wheat genotypes were evaluated for grain yield in a 5 × 11 alpha lattice design with two replications. Results revealed the presence of significant variation in yield across genotypes, environments, and GEI indicating the differential performance of genotypes across environments. The variance due to the effect of environments was higher than the variances due to genotypes and GEI. The variances ascribed to environments, genotypes, and GEI accounted for 45.79%, 12.96%, and 22.56% of the total variation, respectively. These results indicated that in rain-fed wheat genotypes under study, grain yield was more controlled by the environment than by genetics. AMMI biplot analysis demonstrated that E2 was the main contributor to the GEI given that it was located farthest from the origin. Furthermore, E2 was unstable yet recorded the highest yield. Genotype G47 contributed highly to the GEI sum of squares considering that it was also located far from the origin. Genotypes G12 and G18 were relatively stable because they were situated close to the origin. Their position indicated that they had minimal interaction with the environment. Genotype 47 was the highest-yielding genotype but was unstable, whereas G34 was the lowest-yielding genotype and was unstable.

This study examines the relationship between plant height, winterhardiness and genotype-by-environment interaction in the grain yield of winter wheat in western Canada. Positive correlations between plant height and winter survival ability (WSA) and between plant height and lodging score have persisted among entries in Western Hard Red Winter Wheat Cooperative Trials (WWC) for 33 yr. Progress has been made in developing winterhardy semidwarfs; however, no short cultivars have yet been isolated in the most hardy group. For Saskatchewan and Manitoba trials, correlations between WSA and yield (WSA:Y) were mostly positive, indicating widespread and intense cold stress. In southwest Alberta trials, WSA:Y ranged from significantly positive to significantly negative, indicating the wide range and unpredictability of cold stress in this area; in North and Central Alberta the distribution of WSA: Y was intermediate between southwest Alberta and Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In high stress trials (WSA:Y > 0.4), cultivar grain yield increased with increased cultivar height (on average, +0.024 tonnes ha−1 for each centimetre increase in height) but as stress levels declined, this relationship was reversed. In trials with WSA: Y < −0.4, cultivar yield was negatively related to cultivar height (average slope of −0.026 tonnes ha−1 per centimetre increase in height). Similar results were found in a trial of six winter wheat cultivars over three sites and 6 years within southern Alberta. In high stress trials, tall and hardy cultivars stabilized grain yield through high rates of survival while non-hardy cultivars performed poorly. Without damaging cold stress, short and non-hardy cultivars showed the highest yields and the greatest response to environmental productivity. Key words: Yield, winterhardiness, coldstress

The goal of this study was to evaluate the performance of 36 wheat winter (Triticum aestivum L.) lines in organic systems in three locations in Nebraska, to compare the performance of the released cultivars with experimental lines to help in the process of selection, to study the magnitude and behavior of genotype-by-environment interaction for grain yield, anthesis date, plant height, protein content, grain volume weight and vegetation index, and to identify the more stable genotypes. Linear mixed models and site regression model was implemented for reaching the objectives of the present research. Genotypic and GE interaction are significant across the three locations for all traits except for anthesis date. Environment were significant for the six traits. Yield is negative correlated with protein content and plant height. In general the genetic correlation explained more of the genotype performance, although the GE interaction was significant. The best genotypes for grain yield across the three environments were genotypes NW03666, SD07165, NE07444 and Overland. For vegetation index the best lines were: Lyman and Buckskin. For grain volume weight the best lines were: Lyman, NW03681, Danby and Goodstreak. For anthesis date all genotypes were similar. For plant height, the best lines were Goodstreak, Buckskin and Clarkscream.  For protein content, the best lines were Goodstreak, Karl92, Lyman, and Clarkscream. In general the average grain yield of the experimental lines was better than the released lines. For anthesis date, the performance was similar between experimental and released lines. However, for vegetation index, plant height, grain volume weight and protein content, the average performance of the experimental lines was lower than the released lines.
