Abstract

Abstract:

Plant phenotypes are influenced by genetic and environmental factors. In this study, the growth traits of 43 one-year-old poplar clones grown at different sites in northeast China (Dongling State-owned Forest Protection Center, DL; Baicheng State-owned forest farm, BC; and Cuohai Forest farm, CH) were evaluated and analyzed across clones and sites. Results show significant differences in height and base diameter among sites and clones. Phenotypic and genetic variation coefficients ranged from 49.59% (BC) to 58.39% (DL) and from 49.33% (BC) to 58.06% (DL), respectively. Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis showed that the effects of genotype, environment, and genotype ×environment interaction were significantly different. Genetic variation was the main source of variation, accounting for 48.6%. AMMI biplot showed that clone 30 had high and stable yields at the three sites. From an evaluation of multiple traits and GGE biplot that clone 2, clone 30 and clone 25 had higher yield than the other clones at DL, CH and BC, respectively. These clones will provide material for forest regeneration in northeast China.

Key words: Populus, Genetic variation, Genotype×environment interaction, AMMI model, GGE biplot
