Abstract
Genotype evaluation based on multiple traits is a new approach in plant breeding. In this study, 108 sorghum landraces along with two standard checks were planted at three locations of Tigray in the 2018 and 2019 growing seasons. The objectives of this study were to investigate the trait profiles of sorghum landraces, and to identify superior sorghum landraces using GYT and GT analysis methods. The correlation computed for the genotypes showed positive and highly significant (P < 0.01) correlation of grain yield with traits Pnt, Pwd, Pwt and TGWT, and negative and non-significant correlation with DH, DF and DM. The trait profile of the landraces were also displayed using both GT and GYT biplots. The GYT biplots was instrumental to rank genotypes based on their overall superiority of yield trait combinations using ATC graph of the biplot and GYT superiority index, which is not applicable using the GT biplot. Accordingly, LR106 > LR25 > LR102 > LR12 > LR78 > LR103 > LR1 > LR74 > LR15 were best ranked landraces. Thus, the GYT analysis approach is informative for effective genotype evaluation and selection. We revealed that analysis of sorghum landraces based on multiple traits is crucial to develop superior varieties, and the details of this study are significant for thoughtful sorghum breeding programs.
