Two growth chamber experiments were conducted in diverse canola genotypes (10 each of winter and spring types) at six salinity levels (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 dS m<sup>−1</sup> EC). Increasing salinity levels reduced the emergence indices (emergence percentage, emergence rate index, corrected emergence rate index, and emergence velocity) and salt tolerance index (STI). An approximate threshold salinity range of 6–8 dS m<sup>−1</sup> ECs was determined. Importantly, salinity at ≥8 dS m<sup>−1</sup> EC levels substantially reduced seedling emergence indices and delayed emergence by 3–7 days after seeding. Winter genotypes CP1022WC/Chinook and CP320WRR, and spring genotypes Monarch, PI597352, PI601200, and PI432395 had higher STI and emergence indices.

The highly significant maternal effect from the diallel cross experiment demonstrated that the dollar disease resistance is maternally inherited in hard fescue and linked with the maternal inheritance of the <i>E. festucae</i> endophyte. The greenhouse study further confirmed that the presence of <i>E. festucae</i> endophyte significantly reduced dollar spot in hard fescue.

Our objectives were to provide these evaluations using a large variety trial dataset and an independent dataset. Using linear models covering site-averaged yields (× variable) from about 1.50 to 12.0 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup>, upper and lower yield boundaries due to differences in variety performance were characterized by the regression models <i>y</i> = 1.08<i>x</i> + 0.24 and <i>y</i> = 0.906<i>x</i> − 0.13, respectively. The accuracy and usefulness of these functions were validated by the close fit of an independent dataset. Yield plasticity and environmental adaptation of 45 individual wheat varieties were also evaluated using the Finlay–Wilkinson regression approach, which showed wide variation in varietal yield responses to environment and substantial differences in yield stability (i.e., variation around the yield trend). A limitation of this analytical approach has been that the regression coefficients are not directly useful for ranking varieties for yield performance across contrasting environments. A simple transformation procedure of the coefficients into a single metric was effective for rapidly providing such rankings. A limited analysis is presented quantifying the relative contributions of genotype (27%–58% within sites), environment (84% across sites), and their interaction (5% across sites) on regional yields, as well as yield analysis of club wheat.
