Identification and Characterization of
Mega Environments and Standard
Varieties for Maturity Groups in
European Soybean Breeding Material
Problem
MG 000
Solution
Map of adaptation zones in USA from Zhang et al 2007
June 2013, Breeders workshop, Freising, Germany
Start of the Mega Environmental Trial
identify Mega Environments across Europe
identify Standard Varieties for Maturity Groups
2 replications
2014
75 European soybean
varieties
5 Maturity Groups (MG):
000, 00,0, I, II
Originally 34 locations of
13 countries
Megaenvironmental
Trial
Megaenvironmental
Trial
2014
75 European soybean
varieties
5 Maturity Groups (MG):
000, 00,0, I, II
Originally 34 locations of
13 countries
2 replications
locations without
data
eaten by
rabbits, not
conducted,……
23 locations
remained in
analysis
Mega Environmental Field Trial
11.06.2014
24.07.2014
10.09.2014
Data Evaluation
Weekly survey of growth
stage
BBCH vs. Fehr and
Caviness
Most important stages:
Flowering
Maturity
In weeks after sowing
11.06.2015
Flowering: BBCH 65 or R2 Maturity: BBCH 89 or R8
Data Analysis
ASReml BLUEs of single locations
BLUEs across locations
Identification of Mega Environments (ME)
correlation of locations based on BLUEs, correlation based on 1/0
(1 = Genotype matured, 0 = Genotype failed) and phenotypic
distance of the locations
Identification of Standard Varieties
Three stability parameters: environmental variance (s2), ecovalence
(Wi) (Wricke, 1962) and phenotypic stability parameter bi (Eberhart
and Russell, 1966) Growth development
Development of Standard varieties at each ME graphically
visualized
Area reached from 54.1 ° to 43.7 ° latitude
10 ° latitude difference, ~ 4 weeks difference in maturity
