Abstract

Twenty genotypes of wild and cultivated species during 1975 and ten genotypes during 1976 were grown in the glasshouse at 10, 14, 17 or 20 deg C, and at two light intensities intended to simulate autumn/winter with good or poor light conditions. Genotype X temperature, genotype X light intensity, temperature X light intensity and three-factor interactions were apparent for plant weight and leaf number, and stability estimates of each genotype for these characters are tabulated. The environmental conditions that could be useful within a selection programme are discussed. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
