Abstract
Ten wheat genotypes (Triticum aestivum L.) were evaluated for yield and attributing characters under four environments(two locations x two seasons .The genotypes were; Sakha 93, Sakha 94, Giza 168, Sids 1, Sids 3, Sids 5, Gemmeiza 3, Gemmeiza 5, Gemmeiza 7 and Gemmeiza 9. The mean performance, phenotypic stability and interrelationship between various characters were computed as well as path coefficient. The results indicated that, significant genotypes; genotype x environment, environmental linear and genotype x environment linear variance for all studied characters. Regression coefficient (b) deviated significantly from unity (b > 1) for genotypes, Sids 1, Sids 3, Sids 5 for all characters aproximately; indicating that the genotypes were adapted to favorable environments.
    The “b” value deviated significantly from unity and was less than one (b < 1) in Gemmeiza 7 for flag leaf area, number of spikes / plant, Sakha 93 for flag leaf area, plant height number of spikes/plant, number of spikelets/spike and 1000-grain weight and Giza 168 for number of spikelets / spike, 1000-grain weight and grain yield / plant, genotypes for considering the stability parameters (C.V% and S2d accompanished with mean performance (X), the most desired and stable wheat genotypes were Gemmeiza 9 for all studied characters except number of spikes/plant . While Sakha 94 was stable for number of spikes/plant and grain yield / plant.
    Correlation coefficients values were positive and significant between yield and its component for all studied characters except plant height. Path coefficient analysis indicated that number of spikes/plant and 1000-grain weight were the most prominent direct effects on grain yield / plant while number of spikes/plant, number of grains/spike and 1000 grain weight proved to have the highest indirect contribution to grain yield /plant.
