Genotype by environment interaction and yield stability analysis of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var. durum) varieties using AMMI and GGE biplot analysis in Amahara Region, Northwest Ethiopia.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Durum wheat is a staple crop for over one- third of the global population; however, its production in Ethiopia, particularly in the Amhara Region, faces major challenges due to limited adaptable varieties, poor management practices, and environmental constraints. Newly released wheat varieties often fail in unfamiliar environments, leading to yield losses. To address this issue, a study was conducted to evaluate the adaptability, performance, and yield stability of recently released high-performing durum wheat cultivars in the Amahara region. The field trials were conducted over two consecutive years (2022/2023 and 2023/2024) at three districts; Simada, Bichena, and Dabat, using a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Data were collected on main agronomic traits, including growth, phenological, and yield traits such as grain yield. Statistical analyses included SAS 9.4 and R software were used, showing significant differences in crop phenological stages, growth, and yield parameters across years and locations for tested traits. Additive Main Effect and Multiplicative Interaction(AMMI) and Genotype and Genotype × Environment (GGE) biplot analysis were used to study genotype by environmental interaction(GEI). Genotype, location, and year interactions significantly influenced all durum wheat genotypes. The combined analysis of variance for all tested traits including grain yield, showed highly significant effects (p < 0.001). Grain yield ranged from 4.5 t ha-1in Dabat to 2.29 t ha-1in Simada. Among the genotypes, Tesfaye had the highest mean yield (3.74 t ha-1), while Wehabit had the lowest (2.75 t ha-1). The AMMI analysis revealed that most of the variation was due to environment (45%), followed by genotype (16%) and genotype × environment interaction (16%), showing strong environmental influence on yield performance. The GGE biplot and AMMI analysis identified Tesfaye and Don metteo as stable genotypes, while Simada and Bichena as representative environments. This study identifies Tesfaye as the most productive and stable wheat variety in the study area and suggests farmers should adopt it to increase wheat yield per unit area of land.
