RT Journal Article T1 Short communication. Genotype × environment interaction analysis in two chickpea RIL populations A1 Carreras, J. A1 Rubio, J. A1 Flores Gil, Fernando A1 Millán, T. A1 Gil, J. AB In order to introduce new chickpea germplasm in Argentina, two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations F6:7 oftwenty lines, each one derived from crosses between kabuli and desi types, were evaluated for yield components indifferent sites and years. Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis was applied to studythe performance of different genotypes in different environments. Genotype (G), environment (E) and GE interactioneffects were highly significant in both populations for seeds/plant, yield/plant and seed size (100-seed weight). Largedifferences were observed between the two populations for seeds/plant and seed size. We recommend that somegenotypes from these two populations with good performance in a range of environments could be used to introducenew germplasm to the Argentine chickpea breeding programme. The significant GE interactions seem to be related todifferences between two geographical areas (Salta and Córdoba/San Luis), at different latitudes and altitudes. Theseresults suggest that these regions should be considered as different macro-environments from the point of view of thechickpea breeding programme.
