A study of genotype × environment interaction in three barley triple test crosses
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
Perkins & Jinks's (1971) analysis was used to detect and measure the interactions between the environment and the additive, dominance and epistatic effects of the genes for final plant height, spike length, 100-grain weight and yield per plant in three barley (Hordeum vulgare) triple test crosses (DL 3 × IB 226, DL 3 × Jyoti and Jyoti × P 113) raised in two environments (normal irrigation and no irrigation). The j- and I- type epistasis was more sensitive to environmental differences than the i-type epistasis. Similarly, additive gene action responded more to the different environments than did the dominance action of the genes.
