Stability and adaptability of runner peanut genotypes based on nonlinear regression and AMMI analysis

The objective of this work was to estimate the stability and adaptability of pod and seed yield in runner peanut genotypes based on the nonlinear regression and AMMI analysis. Yield data from 11 trials, distributed in six environments and three harvests, carried out in the Northeast region of Brazil during the rainy season were used. Significant effects of genotypes (G), environments (E), and GE interactions were detected in the analysis, indicating different behaviors among genotypes in favorable and unfavorable environmental conditions. The genotypes BRS Pérola Branca and LViPE‑06 are more stable and adapted to the semiarid environment, whereas LGoPE‑06 is a promising material for pod production, despite being highly dependent on favorable environments

Foram analisados 39.212 registros para peso à desmama e 16.546 registros para peso aos 12 meses e ganho de peso até 160 dias pós-desmama, com a finalidade de avaliar a utilização de metodologia para discriminar estimativas de parâmetros de adaptabilidade e estabilidade fenotípicas. Nove composições genotípicas foram distribuídas em seis ambientes para peso à desmama. Para peso aos 12 meses e ganho de peso até 160 dias pós-desmama, utilizaram-se cinco ambientes. As estimativas de médias, desvios-padrão e coeficientes de variação para peso à desmama, peso aos 12 meses e ganho de peso até 160 dias pós-desmama foram: 204,3± 22,6kg e 11,1%; 280,4± 25,9kg e 9,2% e l64,8± 18,1kg e 28,0%, respectivamente. Verificou-se dependência entre principais combinações genotípicas e ambientes avaliados, o que impediu a recomendação geral das melhores combinações genotípicas para todos os ambientes. As análises de adaptabilidade mostraram ser eficientes em discriminar o comportamento das combinações genotípicas dentro de cada ambiente avaliado.<br>Data from 39,212 weaning weights and 16,546 yearling weights and weight gain from weaning to 160 days after weaning, were used to evaluate a methodology to discriminate estimates of phenotypic adaptability and stability. Nine genotypic compositions distributed in six environments for weaning weight, and in five environments for yearling weight and weight gain from weaning to 160 days post weaning, were analyzed. The averages, standard deviations and coefficients of variation for weaning weight, yearling weight and weight gain from weaning to 160 days post weaning were: 204.3± 22.6kg and 11.1%; 280.4± 25.9kg and 9.2%; and l64.8± 18.1kg and 28%, respectively. The genotype by environment interaction suggests that the best genotype combinations can not be recommended for all the environments. The adaptability analysis was efficient to discriminate genotype combination within environment
