Stability of sixteen faba bean genotypes across different environmental conditions [electronic resource].

Includes references.

This investigation was conducted to explore the stability of performance of 16 faba bean gentypes. these genotpes included seven cultivars , ( Sakha2 , Giza40 , Giza 429 , Giza 3 , Nubaria 1 , Giza 843 and Giza 716) and nine promising mutant lines coded ( 248 , 258 , 244 ,252, 278, 332, 336 , 285 and 163) across sixteen diverse environments. The environmental conditions were the combinations of two levels soil salinity (normal and saline) affected and four rhizobium inoculations (control, F. b. ARC 200, F.b. ARC201 and F. b. ICARDA 448) during 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 seasons. The field trails were carried out at demo research station, faculty of agriculture, Fayoum University. two parameters of stability , i.e. regression coefficient bi and deviation from regression s2 d were used for measuring stability for plant dry weight (g) , number of branches / plant , number of pods / plant , number of seeds / plant, seed yield/ plant (g) and 100-seed weight (g).
