Rapidly changing and unpredictable climatic conditions demand to identify and introduce more stable cotton genotypes with specific adaptation to specific environments (Iqbal et al., 2018). It is essential to evaluate adaptation and yield stability of promising genotypes across environments. The yield potential of a genotype is the outcome of its interface with the presented environment. The strong effects of ecological factors throughout different phases of crop development, hence genotypes vary broadly in their response to climate (Sial et al., 2000; Bull et al., 1992). Study was carried out with a view to find out the effect of G×E interaction on the yields of new cotton genotypes to identify the firmest and modified genotypes. Sustainable yield requires stable cultivars. Plant breeding is essential phase to recognize firm and extra adjustable strains/genotypes. The learning of stability in cotton is indispensable component of plant breeding earlier to the launch of latest crop variety, generally difference of sites and years are important for sufficient estimates regarding genotypes.","PeriodicalId":338801,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Agricultural Research","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124847739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty five elite lines of cotton were used to evaluate the genetic variability for fifteen parameters viz., plant height (cms), days taken in 50% flowering, monopodia plant -1 , sympodia plant -1 , boll weight (g), No. of bolls plant -1 , ginning out turn (%), lint index(g), seed index(g), 2.5 percent span length(mm), bundle strength(g/tex), micronaire (µg/in), fibre elongation (%), uniformity ratio and yield plant -1 (g). Using Mahalanobis D 2 analysis, these parameters were assembled into seven clusters. Among these clusters, cluster I and VII were largest each having nine and eight genotypes respectively, followed by cluster VI having seven genotypes. According to the illustrations by using hierarchical cluster analysis, total genotypes were grouped in seven clusters with 11 genotypes in cluster VI after that cluster II comprising 9 genotypes. The random distribution among genotypes showed that no parallelism exists amongst genetic and geographical diversity. First seven components in principal component analysis (PCA) having eigenvalue more than 1, showed 91.131 % the cumulative variance, while PC-1 alone showed 32.47 % variance.
