STABILITYSOFT: A new online program to calculate parametric and non‐parametric stability statistics for crop traits

摘要

Premise of the StudyAccess to improved crop cultivars is the foundation for successful agriculture. New cultivars must have improved yields that are determined by quantitative and qualitative traits. Genotype‐by‐environment interactions (GEI) occur for quantitative traits such as reproductive fitness, longevity, height, weight, yield, and disease resistance. The stability of genotypes across a range of environments can be analyzed using GEI analysis. GEI analysis includes univariate and multivariate analyses with both parametric and non‐parametric models.
