Description
Summary:This study was aimed to asses seed yield performances of 16 rapeseed genotypes  in randomized complete block designs (RCBD) with three replications at four Agricultural Research Stations of cold and mid-cold regions over two years in Iran (2015-2017). GGE biplot analysis indicated that the first two components explained 83% of seed yield variations. Genotype, location and their interaction explained 18%, 52% and 30%of the total GE variation, respectively. In this research, a graphically represented GGE biplot analysis enabled selection of stable and high-yielding genotypes for all investigated locations, as well as genotypes with specific adaptability. The GGE biplot analysis was adequate in explaining GE interaction for seed yield in rapeseed. It can be concluded that genotypes G2, G4 and G13 had the highest mean seed yield and stability in four investigated locations. For specific adaptability, G13 was recommended for Isfahan, Karaj and Kermanshah and G4 for Mashhad.
