Abstract

ackground and Objectives: Rapeseed is one of the most important oilseed crops worldwide and is considered a strategic crop for edible oil production and reducing dependence on imported vegetable oils and oilseed products. Grain yield in rapeseed is strongly influenced by genetic and environmental factors, and the genotype × environment interaction (GEI) may result in changes in the relative performance and ranking of genotypes across environments. Therefore, identifying genotypes with high yield, stable performance, and broad or specific adaptation to different environments is essential for breeding programs and the development of superior cultivars. The objective of this study was to evaluate grain yield performance and stability of 15 winter rapeseed genotypes across diverse environments in Iran and to identify genotypes with high yield and desirable adaptation using the GGE biplot methodology.
 
Materials and Methods: In this study, 9 winter oilseed rape (WOSR) mutant lines along with six cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in six experimental field stations (Karaj, Kermanshah, Isfahan, Hamadan, Zarghan and Qazvin) during 2021–2023 growing seasons. GGE biplot statistical method (genotype effect + genotype × environment interaction) was used to study stability of genotypes in the studied environments.
 
Results: Results of combined variance analysis indicated that the effects of environments (E), genotypes (G) and genotype × environment (G×E) interaction were significant, suggesting that the genotypes responded differently in the studied environment conditions. So, there was the possibility of stability analysis and the results of genotype × environment interaction analysis using GGE-biplot method showed that the two first and second principal components of the GGE-biplot explained 70.9% of the total seed yield variation. Based on the hypothetical ideal genotype biplot, the Talaye cultivar and Z-900-9 mutant line were better than the other genotypes for seed yield and stability and had the high general adaptation to all environments. Furthermore, the Nima and Talaye cultivars in Isfahan, Kermanshah and Karaj locations and Z-900-8 mutant line in Zarghan location were superior genotypes with the high specific adaptation. In addition to the results showed that all environments had high discriminating ability so that could able to show differences between genotypes. The Hamadan, Kermanshah, and Isfahan environments were the nearest environment to ideal environment that had the highest discriminating ability and representativeness.
Conclusion: Generally, the results demonstrated that the Talaye cultivar and Z-900-9 mutant line were better than the other genotypes for seed yield and stability and had the highest general adaptation to all environments.
