Evaluation of phenotypic stability in chickpea genotypes using GGE-Biplot

The objective of this study was to explore the effect of genotype (G) and genotype × environment interaction (GE) on grain yield of 17 chickpea genotypes (Cicer arietinum L.) in five different research stations of Iran. Yield data were analyzed using the GGE biplot method. E (environment) explained 86.44% of the total (G + E + GE) variation, whereas G and GEI captured 2.48% and 11.08%, respectively. The first 2 principal components (PC1 and PC2)...
