Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess genotype by environment interaction for area under disease progress curve values in spring barley grown in South-West Poland by the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction model. The study comprised of 25 spring barley genotypes (five cultivars: Basza, Blask, Antek, Skarb and Rubinek as well as all possible 10 two-way mixtures and 10 three-way mixtures combinations), evaluated at two locations in 4 years (eight environments) in a randomized complete block design, with four replicates. Area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) value of the tested genotypes ranged from 75.3 to 614.3, with an average of 175.3. In the AMMI analyses, 13.43% of the AUDPC value variation was explained by environment, 37.85% by differences between genotypes, and 18.20% by genotype by environment interaction. The mixture Basza/Skarb is recommended for further inclusion in the breeding program due to its low average AUDPC value (98.8) and is stable (AMMI stability value = 6.65).
Highlights
Calculation of the area under the disease-progress curve (AUDPC) as a measure of quantitative disease resistance entails repeated disease assessments (Jeger and Viljanen-Rollinson 2001)
The use of the calculated AUDPC has increased in recent years and can certainly be recommended when, because of either host phenology or growth, monotonically increasing disease progress is unlikely (Jeger and Viljanen-Rollinson 2001)
The advantages for spring barley are the lack of wintering problems and less expenditure on cultivation
Summary
Calculation of the area under the disease-progress curve (AUDPC) as a measure of quantitative disease resistance entails repeated disease assessments (Jeger and Viljanen-Rollinson 2001). The use of the calculated AUDPC has increased in recent years and can certainly be recommended when, because of either host phenology or growth, monotonically increasing disease progress is unlikely (Jeger and Viljanen-Rollinson 2001). Spring barley takes about 10% of the total grain area annually, and the spring form usually occupies four times more area than the winter form. The advantages for spring barley are the lack of wintering problems and less expenditure on cultivation. The cultivation of spring barley takes place mainly for fodder and brewing purposes. Spring barley is the basic ingredient of cereal mixes used for fodder purposes
