Adaptabilidade e estabilidade do rendimento de grãos de genótipos de feijão Grain yield adaptation and stability of bean genotypes

Efetuaram-se análises de adaptabilidade e estabilidade do rendimento de grãos de onze genótipos de feijão (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) de ensaios conduzidos em 23 municípios do Rio Grande do Sul, de 1988/89 a 1993/94, compreendendo 72 ambientes, visando identificar genótipos mais adequados para cultivo no Estado e utilização em programas de melhoramento. Foram avaliados os genótipos Rio Tibagi, Guateian 6662, EMPASC 201, FT 120, Macanudo, Pampa, Minuano, Macotaço, CNF 5491, Carioca e Iraí. Utilizou-se o método de regressão linear segmentada com estimação da junção dos segmentos. A ausência de alterações significativas das taxas de respostas lineares individuais dos genótipos indicou o método de regressão linear simples como mais apropriado. Os genótipos apresentaram desvios de regressão significativos, caracterizando instabilidade fenotípica. Iraí mostrou instabilidade superior às dos demais. Os genótipos diferiram quanto à produtividade média e à taxa de resposta, classificando-se como: Minuano, Macotaço, CNF 5491 e Macanudo, adaptabilidade geral; Rio Tibagi, Pampa e Iraí, pobremente adaptados a todos ambientes; Guateian 6662 e EMPASC201, adaptação específica a ambientes pobres e FT 120 e Carioca, adaptação média a todos ambientes. Destacaram-se Minuano, Macotaço, CNF 5491 e Macanudo, como mais produtivos e melhor adaptados aos ambientes considerados. Esses genótipos, aparentados, apresentaram adaptabilidade semelhante entre si e diferente dos demais e estabilidade não diferenciada em relação a alguns.<br>Adaptation and stability analysis of grain yield of eleven bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL.) genotypes were performed using data collected from trials carried out in 23 locations of Rio Grande do Sul State (Brazil), from 1988/89 to 1993/94, comprising 72 environments. The objective was to identify the best genotypes for cultivation throughout the state as well as for breeding purposes. Genotypes, were Rio Tibagi, Guateian 6662, EMPASC201, FT 120, Macanudo, Pampa, Minuano, Macotaço, CNF 5491, Carioca and Iraí. Segmented regression method with estimated join point was used. Absence of significant alteration of the genotype individual linear response rates indicated the linear regression method as appropriate for this study. All genotypes presented significant regression deviation, characterizing phenotypic instability. Genotypes differed in regard to average yield and response rate, being classified as: Minuano, Macotaço, CNF 5491 and Macanudo of general adaptation; Rio Tibagi, Pampa and Iraí of poor adaptation to all environments; Guateian 6662 and EMPASC201 of specific adaptation to poor environments; genotypes FT 120 and Carioca of average adaptation to all environments. These results pointed out Minuano, Macotaço, CNF 5491 and Macanudo as the most productive and best adapted to the considered environments. These genetically related genotypes displayed similar adaptability among themselves and different from the others as well as no differential stability from some of them

In 1985 the French government created a unique circuit for the dissemination of doctoral theses: References went to a national database “Téléthèses” whereas the documents were distributed to the university libraries in microform. In the era of the electronic document this French network of deposit of and access to doctoral theses is changing. How do you discover and locate a French thesis today, how do you get hold of a paper copy and how do you access the full electronic text? What are the catalogues and databases referencing theses since the disappearance of “Téléthèses”? Where are the archives, and are they open? What is the legal environment that rules the emerging structures and tools? This paper presents national plans on referencing and archiving doctoral theses coordinated by the government as well as some initiatives for creating full text archives. These initiatives come from universities as well as from research institutions and learned societies. “Téléthèses” records have been integrated in a union catalogue of French university libraries SUDOC. University of Lyon-2 and INSA Lyon developed procedures and tools covering the entire production chain from writing to the final access in an archive: “Cyberthèses” and “Cither”. The CNRS Centre for Direct Scientific Communication at Lyon (CCSD) maintains an archive (“TEL”) with about 2000 theses in all disciplines. Another repository for theses in engineering, economics and management called “Pastel” is proposed by the Paris Institute of Technology (ParisTech), a consortium of 10 engineering and commercial schools of the Paris region
