Abstract

In this study, genotype by environment (G × E) interaction and biological stability of resistance to Phytophthora infestans were analyzed for 22 potato cultivars, using multidimensional statistical methods. Sergen 3 computer program, based on multiplicative model was applied to analyze the G × E interaction and regression analysis. The potato cultivars were tested in four experiments in Central and South-eastern Poland over a 4 year period. The analysis of variance of rAUDPC values indicated significant (P < 0.01) influence of genotype (=cultivar) (G), year (Y), environment (E) and G × E interaction. The applying multidimensional statistical methods revealed that the most stable resistance is expressed by highly resistant cultivars Bzura, Wawrzyn, Meduza and moderately resistant ones Klepa, Jasia, Nimfy, Ania, Hinga, Vistula. For these cultivars all tested interactions (with year, location and environment) were insignificant. Such cultivars can be recommended for cultivation across all environments in Poland. In the group of unstable cultivars, two subgroups were separated: unstable and unpredictable (12 cvs.) and unstable and regular (1 cv). A different response of potato cultivars to environmental factors suggests that there is a need to select potato cultivars which are stable in terms of late blight resistance expression at various locations and years.

Resumen

En este estudio se analizaron la interacción genotipo ambiente (G x E) y la estabilidad biológica de resistencia a Phytophthora infestans para 22 cultivares de papa, utilizando métodos estadísticos multidimensionales. Se aplicó el programa de computación Sergen 3, basado en un modelo multiplicativo para analizar la interacción G x E y para el análisis de regresión. Se probaron las variedades de papa en cuatro experimentos en el centro y el sureste de Polonia, en un período de cuatro años. Los valores del análisis de varianza de rAUDPC indicaron influencia significativa (P < 0.01) del genotipo (=variedad) (G), año (Y), ambiente (E), y la interacción G × E. La aplicación de los métodos estadísticos multidimensionales revelaron que la resistencia más estable se expresa por las variedades altamente resistentes Bzura, Wawrzyn, Meduza, y con las de resistencia moderada Klepa, Jasia, Nimfy, Ania, Hinga y Vistula. Todas las pruebas de interacción para estas variedades (con año, localidad y ambiente) fueron significativas. Tales variedades se pueden recomendar para cultivo en todos los ambientes en Polonia. El grupo de las variedades inestables se separó en dos subgrupos; inestables e impredecibles (12 vars.) y las inestables regulares (una var.). La diferente respuesta de las variedades a los factores ambientales sugiere que existe la necesidad de seleccionar variedades de papa que son estables en términos de expresión de resistencia al tizón tardío en varias localidades y años.
