Abstract
TOBAR-TOSSE, Dora Enith et al. Identifying crisphead lettuce genotypes for a wider range of environments. Cienc. Tecnol. Agropecuaria [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.1, e1964. Epub Dec 31, 2021. ISSN 0122-8706. https://doi.org/10.21930/rcta.vol23_num1_art:1964.
This work aims to select crisphead lettuce (Lactuca sativa L) genotypes superior in production, stability, and adaptability using a mixed model method: restricted maximum likelihood/best linear unbiased prediction. Ten genotypes were grown in different municipalities of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and seasons of the year, resulting in twelve different environments. The experiment has a randomized complete block design with four repetitions. Genotypes comprise eight breeding lines and two commercial cultivars, Vanda and Vera. The evaluated traits include total production in g/plant, commercial production in g/plant, and numbers of leaves/plant. Analysis of joint deviance indicated that the genotypes responded differently to the environments evaluated. The crisphead lettuce breeding lines that were most productive, stable, and adapted to the twelve lettuce-growing environments, even outperforming the commercial Vanda and Vera cultivars, were lines L8, L2, and L6.
