ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine the necessary number of experiments to analyze the adaptability and stability of maize cultivars (Zea mays L.) using the Lin and Binns method. Grain yield data extracted from 63 maize cultivar trials were used. Trials were divided in six groups of experiments, according to the cycle (early and super early) and the agricultural year (2002/2003, 2003/2004, and 2004/2005). In each group, from the set of all experiments (reference file) new data files were formed by combinations in groups of 2, 3, 4, ..., n-1 experiments, with a total of 10,683 files. For each file, the estimation of the adaptability and stability parameter (Pi) of the Lin and Binns method was calculated. To verify the degree of association of the estimates of Pi obtained with the combinations of experiments and with all the experiments (reference), Spearman correlation coefficient (r) was used. Number of experiments giving values of r≥0.80 in 100% of the combinations was considered sufficient. Seven experiments sufficed for the analysis of adaptability and stability of maize cultivars by the method of Lin and Binns.

An experiment was conducted on Maize (Zea mays L.) to investigate the genotype × environment interaction for gain yield of maize inbreds under salinity stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate G × E interactions and yield stability in multi-environmental trials across wide ecological stress environments. Prescreened thirteen maize inbred lines collected from CYMMT, India were evaluated for phenotypic traits at different salinity conditions (8dS, 12dS and 16dS) with normal environment. The environmental mean and genotypic mean ranged from 10.3 to 49.7 g and 10.9 to 52.8 g, respectively. The regression coefficient (bi) values of these genotypes ranged from 0.44 to 1.66. Among the genotypes P43, CZ29 and CZ33 produced higher grain yield and highly responsive under different salinity level. On the other hand considering the Pi, bi, S2di and AMMI bi-plot analysis the genotypes E32, P29 and P35 showed almost stable performance across the different salinity conditions.

Thirty white-grain hybrids in 1210cations and 20 yellow-grain hybrids in 14 locations were evaluated in 1996. The control HB-83 was used for white grains, and control HB-46 was used for yellow grains. Measurement of genotype/environment interaction was obtained through the analysis of additive main effects and multiplicative in~eractions (AMMI model). White hybrids A- 7573, H-53, HN-951, A-7530, CB- XHS-7GMl and CML- 9XCML-47 equaled or surpassed the HB-83 control in 17,8%; 0,1%; 1,1%; 9,2%; 8,1% and 18,7% ofthe cases, respectively, showing little interaction with the environment (AMMI values close to O). Two of these hybrids are from national programs, and three from private seed companies. As for the yellow grains, only the CB-XHS-8GM3, HS-6 and DK-888A hybrids surpassed the control HA-46 in yield, and showed AMMI scores c10se to O: (0,20; -0,07 and -0,12, respectively); all of these belong to private seed companies.

The number of ovules of the first ear of maize (Zea mays L.) at silking time was studied on three single crosses ranging from very early flint to late maturing, in three locations, from the northern limit of culture for grain to good irrigated conditions of the southeastern part of France. The results show that the ovule number is mainly determined by genotypes and increases with lateness; means are as follows: F7 × F2, 338; WH × WJ, 448; W64A × F546, 589 ovules. The variation among environments is characterized by a CV of 9% but is not significant. Nevertheless a part of this variation seems to be explained by the duration, in terms of heat units, of the sowing-silking period.Key words: Zea mays L., ovule number, genotype-environment interaction
