However, parameters to assess the yield trial data and/or derive criteria to select superior cultivars with stable performance are lacking in black pepper. In this study, we examined the genotype-by-year interaction (GYI) pattern and its impact on black pepper yield, as well as the selection parameters for identifying stable and high-yielding cultivars. Average Yield Relative Environment Maximum (YREM) and Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (BLUP) emerged as the most effective measures for evaluating cultivar performance, as they accounted for relative yield and stability. Among the evaluated cultivars, OPKM displayed better stability estimates. However, considering high mean yield along with all the stability estimates, the HP 2173 ranked first. Notably, even with single-location multi-year trial data, the single-year YREM and BLUP values showed significant predictive power for future performance which is most preferred in perennial crops.

It is a fast-growing herbaceous annual with high nutritional relevance. The present work was designed to determine the effect of six soluble salts (NaCl, Na₂SO₄, KCl, CaCl₂, CaCO₃, and MgCl₂) on germination of <em>P. oleracea</em> seeds. The effect of salinity was tested on final germination percentage (FGP%), and germination tolerance index (GTI%) using five concentrations (0, 200, 300, 400, and 600 mM) of each salt. In addition, laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the effects of salinity on germination recovery from high saline conditions (600 mM). Salinity level and salt composition significantly influenced germination attributes. <em>P. oleracea</em> seeds were non-dormant, exhibited approximately 100% germination in distilled water. Both FGP and GTI gradually decreased with increasing salinity. This study showed that seeds of P. oleracea can germinate under 300 mM in all tested salts. The salts causing germination inhibition exhibited specificity, with an increasing trend observed in the following sequence: MgCl₂ &gt; Na₂SO₄ &gt; NaCl &gt; KCl &gt; CaCl₂ &gt; CaCO₃. Transferring ungerminated seeds from 600 mM to distilled water recovered their germination ability. Based on these results, we can conclude that <em>P. oleracea</em> is a high salt-tolerant species that can tolerate a variety of salts found in soil. Therefore, <em>P. oleracea</em> may be considered a promising species for improving ecological balance in saline soils.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141023987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
