Abstract

To evaluate the stability of essential oil yield (EOY) in the ten rosemary lines, a study was conducted to investigate genotype × environment interactions (GEI) in the genetic stocks obtained from the National Gene Bank of CSIR-CIMAP, Lucknow, India. The AMMI stability model was used in this work to evaluate ten genotypes of rosemary in three distinct locations in the various climates of Indian states in order to find stable lines that can flourish in various climatic conditions. The genotype stability performance is also affected by the correlations. For each of the ten features, the AMMI analysis showed substantial (p<0.05) G×E interactions. The first interaction principal component (IPCA1) was significant for all traits, explaining a substantial portion of the interaction sum of squares. Stability assessment, based on IPCA1 scores (near zero) coupled with high mean performance, identified genotypes RM-5, RM-2, and RM-4 as stable and high-yielding across environments for essential oil content and key agronomic traits. These genotypes are recommended for extensive cultivation in the diverse agro-climatic zones of India.
