Innovative multi-trial breeding and genotype screening in triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) for enhanced stability under drought stress

Abstract Triticale is a man-made crop produced by crossing wheat (Triticum aestivum) and rye (Secal cereal) with the aim of increasing the adaptability and potential production of its parental line (wheat) under environmental stresses and harsh conditions. Accordingly, the objectives of this study a...

description Abstract Triticale is a man-made crop produced by crossing wheat (Triticum aestivum) and rye (Secal cereal) with the aim of increasing the adaptability and potential production of its parental line (wheat) under environmental stresses and harsh conditions. Accordingly, the objectives of this study are as follow, a: compare different stability measurement methods regarding their suitability, b: identify most stable genotypes for cultivar release, and c: provide a freely available package in R programming language (named ‘Stbidx’) capable of exploiting all stability methods for similar studies. Accordingly, 30 triticale genotypes were evaluated for their stability and adaptability to changing environments during four consecutive years from 2016 to 2020 in different locations in Iran (one year in Zarghan, two years in Ghorveh, one year in Sanandaj) and under two different irrigation regimes (normal irrigation and water deficit stress conditions). All 30 triticale genotypes were cultivated in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications in each environment (12 environments: 6 trials in 2 conditions). Grain yield of triticale genotypes was measured and it applied to calculate all known stability indices (univariate methods) along with the meta-analysis models were evaluated in this study. Additionally, two novel techniques (Stability ID: SID and AMMI PC Value: APCV) were introduced and successfully tested for screening stable genotypes. These methods were introduced to improve and resolve the limitation of the previous stability methods. Meanwhile, heatmap analysis, as a proper data-mining technique, has been successfully applied for the first time to find stable genotypes in different environments in this study. The results clearly indicated a higher suitability of our introduced methods over previous multi-trials screening methods. Based on our methods and considering all environments, triticale genotypes ELTTCL21 (SID = 8.00; APCV = 28.12), ELTTCL25‌ (SID = 8.14; APCV = 30.02), ELTTCL30 (SID = 8.43; APCV = 17.00), ET-90-8 (SID = 14.00; APCV = 42.05), and Sanabad (SID = 10.57; APCV = 12.44) were among stable genotypes and they can be nominated as new cultivars. Additionally, for stress condition genotypes ELTTCL30 (stress: 380.6 g/m2) and ELTTCL18 (stress: 360.79 g/m2) and for normal condition genotypes ET-90-4 (normal: 849.4 g/m2) and ELTTCL20 (normal:845 g/m2) were respectively the most proper genotypes with the highest production to be considered for each condition separately.
