Study of Genotype X Environment Intraction in Asiatic Cotton Gossypium

cotton plant fiber is known as White Gold. Gossypium arboreum belongs to family Malvaecae with diploid band of genome have 13 chromosome number. Genotype environment (GE) fundamental interactions have major fictitious character in teaching of improved cultivars. A cultivar is said to be commercially thriving, if it performs well across the range of environments in which it grows. The differential response of a genotype or cultivar for a given trait across environments is outlined as the genotype environment interaction (G E). Bilbro and Ray (1976) indicated that a successful breeding program should focus efforts on genotype yield train (average yield compared to standards), adaptation (what environment does the genotype best perform in), and perceptual constancy (how consistent does the genotype yield compared to others). Genotype refers to the set of genes possessed by individual that is important for the manifestation of traits under investigation. The environment is d efined as all non-genetic factors that influence the expression of the trait and influence the growth and development of individuals. G E interaction is a differential genotypic expression across environments (Basford and Cooper, 1998). According to Romagosa and Fox (1993), G x E interaction reduces association amidst phenotypic and genotypic values of a genotype. This whitethorn cause promising selections from one environment to perform poorly in one and better in another environment, forcing plant breeders to examine genotypic adaptation (Sharma et al., 1987).Varieties are tested in many environments due to ever-changing their performance and adaptation ability. However, important G E interactions decreases relationship between phenotype and genotype and also genetics improvements in breeding programmes (Comst... ...
