Abstract

Genotype x environment interaction was studied using 25 populations of Rauvolfia serpentina collected from 11 states of India. Significant G x E interaction revealed that genotypes responded differently to different environments. Genotype A14 was found to be most stable over environment, on the other hand genotype A17 was responsive to favourable environment. The study indicated power of stability analysis in identifying stable genotypes.
