Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 20Activity of Metalaxyl-M plus mancozeb, Fosetyl-Al, and Phosphorous Acid against Phytophthora Crown and Root Rot of Apricot and Cherry Caused by Phytophthora palmivora(CZECH ACADEMY AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, 2017) Türkölmez, Şahimerdan; Derviş, Sibel; 16.01. Department of Organic Agriculture / Organik Tarım Bölümü; 16. School of Vocational Higher School of Kızıltepe/ Kızıltepe Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiCrown and root rot, caused by the Oomycete pathogen Phytophthora palmivora, has become a destructive disease of apricot and cherry in eastern Turkey. There are no currently registered fungicides labeled for its control. In greenhouse experiments conducted in 2012 and 2013, 1-year-old potted apricot rootstock Zerdali and cherry rootstock Mahaleb plants were treated either with foliar spray of fosetyl-Al (140, 160, and 180 g a.i./100 l) or phosphorous acid (187.5, 200, and 215 g a.i./100 l) or soil drench of 100 ml of metalaxyl-M (= mefenoxam)+mancozeb (12+192, 16+256, and 20+320 g a.i./100 l) one day after wound inoculation of crowns and roots. In both years, phosphorous acid at 200 and 215 g a.i./100 l, fosetyl-Al at 160 and 180 g a.i./100 l, and metalaxyl-M+mancozeb at 20+320 g a.i./100 l significantly reduced the root rot severity on Zerdali by 70.68-80.00% and crown rot severity on both Zerdali and Mahaleb, by 68.32-91.96 and 74.21-82.60%, respectively, compared with phosphorous acid at 187.5 g a.i./100 l, fosetyl-Al at 140 g a.i./100 l, metalaxyl-M+mancozeb at 12+192 and 16+256 g a.i./100 l and control. Moreover, fosetyl-Al at 180 g a.i./100 l and metalaxyl-M+mancozeb at 20+320 g a.i./100 l significantly reduced the root rot severity on Mahaleb compared to fosetyl-Al at 140 and 160 g a.i./100 l, metalaxyl-M+mancozeb at 12+192 and 16+256 g a.i./100 l, phosphorous acid treatments and control in 2012, providing the best control of the disease by 88.00-90.68%. Two/three phosphorous acid foliar applications at 200 g a.i./100 l suppressed symptom development when field applications were made on a curative basis in 2014 and 2015.Article Citation - Scopus: 20Antioxidant, anticancer and anticholinesterase activities of flower, fruit and seed extracts of hypericum amblysepalum HOCHST(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention, 2015) Keskin, Cumali; 21.02. Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü; 21. Vocational School of Health Services / Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiBackground: Cancer is an unnatural type of tissue growth in which the cells exhibit unrestrained division, leading to a progressive increase in the number of dividing cells. It is now the second largest cause of death in the world. The present study concerned antioxidant, anticancer and anticholinesterase activities and protocatechuic, catechin, caffeic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid and o-coumaric concentrations in methanol extracts of flowers, fruits and seeds of Hypericum amblysepalum. Materials and Methods: Antioxidant properties including free radical scavenging activity and reducing power, and amounts of total phenolic compounds were evaluated using different tests. Protocatechuic, catechin, caffeic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid and o-coumaric concentrations in extracts were determined by HPLC. Cytotoxic effects were determined using the MTT test with human cervix cancer (HeLa) and rat kidney epithelium cell (NRK-52E) lines. Acetyl and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activities were measured by by Ellman method. Results: Total phenolic content of H. amblysepalum seeds was found to be higher than in fruit and flower extracts. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the obtained extracts gave satisfactory results versus butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene as controls. Reducing power activity was linearly proportional to the studied concentration range: 10-500 µg/mL LC50 values for H. amblysepalum seeds were 11.7 and 2.86 respectively for HeLa and NRK-52E cell lines. Butyryl-cholinesterase inhibitory activity was 76.9 ± 0.41 for seed extract and higher than with other extracts. Conclusions: The present results suggested that H. amblysepalum could be a potential candidate anti-cancer drug for the treatment of human cervical cancer, and good source of natural antioxidants.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 25Biosorption of chlorophenoxy acid herbicides from aqueous solution by using low-cost agricultural wastes(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015) Okumus, Veysi; Celik, K. Serdar; Ozdemir, Sadin; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Kilinc, Ersin; 21.02. Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü; 21. Vocational School of Health Services / Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThe potential biosorption abilities of apple shell (AS), orange peel (OP), banana peel (BP), and millet waste (MW) as a bio-waste material to remove 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy propanoic acid (2,4-DP), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxy butyric acid (2,4-DB) from aqueous solution were investigated in batch condition. Optimum biosorption conditions were determined as a function of contact time, pH of the solution, amount of biomass, and initial pesticide concentrations. The concentrations of the pesticides in the remaining solutions were simultaneously determined by high performance thin layer chromatography. Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to describe the biosorption isotherm of the pesticides by agricultural wastes. The experimental adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir adsorption models (r(2)>0.99). It was found that adsorption of 2,4-DP was higher for all biosorbent. The highest maximum adsorption capacities of 2,4-DP were found as 40.08, 22.71, 33.26, and 45.45mg/g, respectively, for AS, OP, BP, and MW. Maximum adsorption capacity was obtained for 2,4-D as OP>MW>BP>AS, 2,4-DP as MW>AS>BP>OP, and 2,4-DB as OP>AS>BP>MW. From the results, it can be said that MW was an effective biosorbent for removal of 2,4-DP and OP was an effective biosorbent for removal of 2,4-D and 2,4-DB through the studied pesticides. Optimum biosorption conditions were determined as 60min of contact time, 100mg of biomass, AS at pH 6.0, OP at pH 6.0, MW at pH 7.0, and BP at pH 7.0. FT-IR was employed to understand the surface properties of biosorbents. According to the results, agricultural wastes have high adsorption capacity.Article Citation - Scopus: 20Effects of distributed generations' integration to the distribution networks case study of solar power plant(İlhami Çolak, 2017) Shobole, Abdulfetah; Baysal, Mustafa; Wadi, Mohammed; Tur, Mehmet Rida; 17.02. Department of Electricity and Energy / Elektrik ve Enerji Bölümü; 17. Vocational Higher School / Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiAll over the world, the Distributed Generations (DGs) integration to power system has increased in the recent years due to economic, environmental and technical advantages. Turkey which has the huge solar potential has focused on integrating both licensed and unlicensed solar power plants by providing 10 years of purchasing guarantee as an incentive for the electricity producers from solar energy. However, the integration of DGs has several negative effects on the distribution networks (DNs). This work is concerned with investigating the possible challenges that may arise due to integration of PV based DGs on the existing distribution networks. Short circuit current level with respect to variation in MW integration is studied for the case the utility network is weak and strong. When the utility network is strong, the integration effect of inverter based DGs like solar power plants were observed insignificant. However, for the weak utility networks, the integration of inverter based DGs has been observed to have significant influence. Finally, directly integrated DGs (without inverter) are considered to reveal its difference with the non-inverter based DGs. As the case study, the distribution network integration of a solar power project, which is found in the Antalya region of Turkey, is investigated. This is 12 MW solar power plant designed to be connected to the local distribution network in Antalya. It is concluded that the effects of directly integrated DGs are observed more prominent compared to the inverter based DGs. DigSILENT Power Factory simulation tool is used for the study.Article Citation - WoS: 132Citation - Scopus: 176Epilepsy Detection by Using Scalogram Based Convolutional Neural Network from EEG Signals(MDPI, 2019) Türk, Ömer; Özerdem, Mehmet Siraç; 08.01. Department of Computer Engineering / Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Bölümü; 08. Faculty of Engineering and Architecture / Mühendislik Mimarlık Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThe studies implemented with Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are progressing very rapidly and brain computer interfaces (BCI) and disease determinations are carried out at certain success rates thanks to new methods developed in this field. The effective use of these signals, especially in disease detection, is very important in terms of both time and cost. Currently, in general, EEG studies are used in addition to conventional methods as well as deep learning networks that have recently achieved great success. The most important reason for this is that in conventional methods, increasing classification accuracy is based on too many human efforts as EEG is being processed, obtaining the features is the most important step. This stage is based on both the time-consuming and the investigation of many feature methods. Therefore, there is a need for methods that do not require human effort in this area and can learn the features themselves. Based on that, two-dimensional (2D) frequency-time scalograms were obtained in this study by applying Continuous Wavelet Transform to EEG records containing five different classes. Convolutional Neural Network structure was used to learn the properties of these scalogram images and the classification performance of the structure was compared with the studies in the literature. In order to compare the performance of the proposed method, the data set of the University of Bonn was used. The data set consists of five EEG records containing healthy and epilepsy disease which are labeled as A, B, C, D, and E. In the study, A-E and B-E data sets were classified as 99.50%, A-D and B-D data sets were classified as 100% in binary classifications, A-D-E data sets were 99.00% in triple classification, A-C-D-E data sets were 90.50%, B-C-D-E data sets were 91.50% in quaternary classification, and A-B-C-D-E data sets were in the fifth class classification with an accuracy of 93.60%.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7First report of Neoscytalidium novaehollandiae on common sage (Salvia officinalis)(Springer link, 2021) Dervis, Sibel; Guney, Inci Guler; Kosar, Islim; Bozoglu, Tugba; Ozer, Goksel; 16.01.

Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiIn June 2020, many plants exhibited symptoms of root rot and foliar blight in the experimental field of common sage in Sanliurfa province, Turkey. The pathogen was identified as Neoscytalidium novaehollandiae based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of partial sequence of the transcription elongation factor 1-alpha gene and the internal transcribed spacer of rDNA. Koch's postulates were fulfilled by successful re-isolation of the pathogen from inoculated plants in the pathogenicity assay. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of N. novaehollandiae causing root rot and foliar blight of common sage worldwide.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 14In-Vitro Antioxidant, Cytotoxic, Cholinesterase Inhibitory Activities and Anti-Genotoxic Effects of Hypericum Retusum Aucher Flowers, Fruits and Seeds Methanol Extracts in Human Mononuclear Leukocytes(Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research, 2017) Keskin, C.; Keskin, Cumali; Aktepe, N.; Aktepe, Necmettin; Yükselten, Y.; Asuman,; Boğa, M.; 21.02.

Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThe present study investigates the antioxidant, anticancer, anticholinesterase, anti-genotoxic activities and phenolic contents of flower, fruit and seed methanol extracts of Hypericum retusum AUCHER. The amounts of protocatechuic acid, catechin, caffeic acid and syringic acid in methanol extracts were determined by HPLC. Total phenolic content of H. retusum seed extract was found more than fruit and flower extracts. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity of flower and seed methanol extracts showed close activity versus BHT as control. Among three extracts of H. retusum only flower methanol extract was exhibited considerable cytotoxic activities against to HeLa and NRK-52E cell lines. Moreover, seed methanol extract showed both acetyl and butyrl-cholinesterase inhibitory activity. The highest anti-genotoxic effects were seen 25 and 50 μg/mL concentrations. In this study, the extracts showed a strong antioxidant and anti-genotoxic effect. The seed extract was more efficient- than extracts of fruit and flowers. Our results suggest that the antioxidant and anti-genotoxic effects of extracts depend on their phenolic contents. Further studies should evaluate the in-vitro and in-vivo the benefits of H. retusum seed methanol extracts. © 2017 by School of Pharmacy.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 37Mononuclear Complexes Based on Pyrimidine Ring Azo Schiff-Base Ligand: Synthesis, Characterization, Antioxidant, Antibacterial, and Thermal Investigations(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2014) Gulcan, Mehmet; Ozdemir, Sadin; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Ispir, Esin; Kurtoglu, Mukerrem; 21.02.

Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiSix transition metal(II) complexes with the heterocyclic ligand HL (1), [CuL2]center dot H2O (2), [NiL2]center dot 3H(2)O (3), [CoL2]center dot 3H(2)O (4), [MnL2]center dot 3H(2)O (5), [ZnL2]center dot 2H(2)O (6), [PdLOAc]center dot H2O (7) [HL = 5-benzoyl-1-((E)-(2-hydroxy-5-((E)-phenyldiazenyl)benzylidene)amino)-4-phenylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one] were synthesized. The features of the azo Schiff bases were assigned from microanalytical, spectroscopic (IR, UV/Vis., H-1- and C-13 NMR, API-ES mass), magnetic, and molar conductivity measurements at room temperature as well as thermal analysis. The electronic absorption spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements of the complexes indicate square pyramidal arrangement for Pd-II and octahedral environment for all the other complexes. The azo Schiff base HL acts as a monobasic tridentate ligand, which commonly coordinates through the oxygen atoms of the phenol OH and the pyrimidine one group, and the nitrogen atom of the azomethine group. The thermal behaviors of the ligand and its metal complexes were studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The metal complexes proved to be more thermally stable than the ligand; they decomposed at 10-30 degrees C higher temperatures. Antioxidant properties of the ligand and its metal complexes (DPPH free radical scavenging, ferrous chelating and reducing power activities) were tested. Antimicrobial activities were studied with gram-positive bacteria, which included Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, whereas Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa represented gram negative bacteria.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Nutlet micromorphology of Mardin in Turkey Salvia L. (Lamiaceae) and its systematic implacations(NORDIC JOURNAL OF BOTANY, 2021) Kılıç, Murat; Mungan Kılıç, Fatma; 16.03.

Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThe nutlet (mericarp) morphology of nine species of Salvia sect. Salvia (Salvia bracteata Banks & Sol., Salvia macrochlamys Boiss. & Kotschy, Salvia suffruticosa Montbret & Aucher ex Benth., Salvia trichoclada Benth.), Hymenosphace (Salvia multicaulis Vahl), Aethiopis (Salvia montbretii Benth., Salvia palaestina Benth., Salvia syriaca L.) and Hemisphace (Salvia russellii Benth.) (Lamiaceae) has been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a detailed description of the nutlet morphological features of all examined taxa is provided. The basic shape of nutlets in most species is subprolate or prolate and the size ranged between 3.02 and 6.47 mm in length and between 1.78 and 5.10 mm in width. Three basic types of sculpturing can be distinguished: colliculate, reticulate and verrucate. The colliculate type is the most common among the studied species. The colliculate type is characteristic for sect. Salvia. Subsection Salvia with colliculate/slightly furrowed sculpturing is easily distinguished from the other subsections. The systematic and biological implications of the nutlet characteristics are shortly discussed. © 2021 Nordic Society Oikos.

Department of Machine and Metal Technologies / Makine ve Metal Teknolojileri Bölümü; 17. Vocational Higher School / Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiSafflower (Carthamus tinctorius) is widely farmed in Turkey. This study investigates the physicochemical properties of safflower biodiesel and its blends with Euro diesel and butanol. A polynomial curve-fitting method was used to predict kinematic viscosity and density of the ternary blends. Furthermore, characteristics such as DSC, FT-IR, UV-Vis and TGA were adopted to evaluate the influence of butanol addition on biodiesel–diesel blends. Engine performance parameters such as BP, torque and BSFC and emissions such as CO, HC, NOx and EGT were studied. Safflower methyl ester satisfied both EN 14214 and ASTM D 6751 standards regarding viscosity, flash point and density. However, iodine value was quite high. Oxidation stability fails to satisfy either standard. This is due to the high level of unsaturated fatty acids (91.05%). A reduction in BP, torque, HC and CO coupled with an increase in BSFC, NOx emissions and EGT was observed for all blends compared to Euro diesel. Overall, all blends appear to be good alternatives to biodiesel–diesel blends. This work supports that biodiesel can be blended with diesel and butanol as ternary blends (up to 20%) for use as a fuel in compression ignition (CI) engines. Therefore, combustion characteristics of blends shall be further investigated. © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis GroupArticle Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 27PROFICIENCY OF BIPLOT METHODS (AMMI AND GGE) IN THE APPRAISAL OF TRITICALE GENOTYPES IN MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTS(CORVINUS UNIV BUDAPEST, 2019) Kendal, Enver; Tekdal, Sertaç; Karaman, Mehmet; 16.02.

Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThe AMMI (additive main effect and multiplicative interaction) and GGE (genotype, genotype x environment) biplot analyses were used to evaluate and identify stability and yield of Triticale genotypes at three different locations throughout two years (2014-15-2015-16). The AMMI analysis of variance showed significant genotype, environment and GE interaction and indicated 1.31, 98.40 and 0.28% of total variation, respectively. The GGE bi-plot analysis indicated 78.19% of the total variation (PC1 (priciple component) 50.01%, and PC2 26.08%). This study has been useful to discriminate genotypes with superior and stable yield evaluated by the AMMI analysis and yield stability index incorporating the AMMI stability value and yield capacity in a single non-parametric index. The AMMI analysis indicated that G4, G8 (candidate) and G6 were found to be quite promising genotypes. In the GGE biplot analysis genotypes were investigated in two mega-environments, and the first mega-environment covered E3, E5 and E6, and the second mega-environment covered E1, E2 and E4. The genotypes G6, G8, G9 and Gll were the wining genotypes in ME (mega-environment) I, G3, G4 and G12 and in ME II. The GGE and AMMI biplot approaches let us to describe the best genotypes, and G8 to be stable and high yielding for both ME, G6 only for ME I, G4 only for ME II and can be recommended to release as a cultivar.Article Citation - Scopus: 3Reactive Blue 19 Adsorption on Activated Carbon from Pumpkin (Cucurbita Pepo) Seed Waste: Kinetic, Isotherm and Thermodynamic Studies(Kauno Technologijos Universitetas, 2024) Kızıl, Yusuf; Benek, Veysel; Teğin, İbrahim; Önal, Yunus; Erol, Kadir; Alacabey, İhsan; 21.02.

Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiIn this study, the removal of reactive blue 19 dyestuffs in aqueous systems was investigated by the adsorption method using activated carbon obtained from pumpkin seed waste. Activated carbon obtained from pumpkin seed waste functionalized with ZnCl2 was used as an absorbent. Pumpkin seed hydrochar was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TGA-DTA, BET, and XPS. In the experimental stages, the adsorption equilibrium time was determined as 45 minutes, the adsorbent dosage was 0.8 g and the optimum pH was 6.0. After this step, the adsorption parameters of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms were investigated. It has been pointed out that the adsorption process fits better with the Freundlich isotherm model, and the adhesion occurs in a multilayered manner and on a heterogeneous surface. Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms support that the bonding mechanism is realized by physical interactions. When the kinetic data were evaluated, adsorption mechanism was found to be compatible with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption indicate that the system is endothermic, and the adsorption of reactive blue 19 on activated carbon is a spontaneous process.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Selective preconcentration of Lanthanum(III) by Coriolus versicolor immobilised on Amberlite XAD-4 and its determination by ICP-OES(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2014) Ozdemir, Sadin; Okumus, Veysi; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Celik, Kadir Serdar; Yuksel, Uyan; Kilinc, Ersin; 21.02.

Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiCoriolus versicolor, a wood fungus, was immobilised on Amberlite XAD-4 and used as solid-phase biosorbent for preconcentrations of rare earth elements. La(III), Th(IV), U(IV) and Ce(III) were subjected to solid-phase extraction procedure. We observed that La(III) was selectively preconcentrated, while other ions remained in solution at pH 6.0. 5.0mL of 1.0molL(-1) HCl was used to elaute La(III) from column. 250mg of C. versicolor loaded on 1000mg of XAD-4 was optimised as solid-phase matrix. Concentrations of ions in solutions were determined by inductively coupled plasma- optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The calibration plot after preconcentration was linear in the range from 1.0 to 50.0ngmL(-1) for La(III). Limit of detection was found as 0.27ngmL(-1) for La(III) by SPE method. Relative standard deviation was found lower than 6.7% for 1.0ngmL(-1) of La(III) solution (n=10). The sensitivity of ICP-OES was improved by a factor of 46.8. The applicability of the method was validated through the analysis of certified reference samples of tea (NCS ZC-73014) and spinach (NCS ZC-73013).Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Synthesis and antioxidant, aggregation, and electronic properties of 6-tert-butyl-1,4-benzodioxine substituted phthalocyanines(Turkish Journal of Chemistry, 2018) Ağırtaş, Mehmet Salih; Cabir, Beyza; Gümüş, Selçuk; Özdemir, Sadin; Dündar, Abdurrahman; 21.02.

It was evaluated that the commercial antibiotics used were more effective at low concentrations compared to colistin, vancomycin and fluconazole.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 21TRACING HIGHLY ADAPTED STABLE YIELDING BREAD WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) GENOTYPES FOR GREATLY VARIABLE SOUTH-EASTERN TURKEY(CORVINUS UNIV BUDAPEST, 2016) Aktas, H.; 16.02. Department of Seed Production / Tohumculuk Teknolojisi Bölümü; 16. School of Vocational Higher School of Kızıltepe/ Kızıltepe Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiWheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely adapted and cultivated cereal grain in the world. In 2013 cropping season, wheat was harvested on 1.3, 7.8, and 214 million ha in south-eastern Turkey, Turkey and World, respectively. Breeding programs in the Turkey have achieved tremendous gains in grain yield over past two decades. However, yield fluctuated over the years due to change in environmental conditions and genotype by environment interactions. Therefore, this study was conducted with overall objectives to identify high yielding and stable candidate genotypes for release in southeastern Turkey. A total of 25 genotypes with 20 advanced experimental lines and five check cultivars were planted at 10 locations in south-eastern Turkey in 2010-11 cropping season. Grain yield stability was determined using Eberhart and Russel, AMMI and GGE-biplot methods. Based on these results G1, G12, G13 and G19 were identified as the potential candidate genotypes for release. GGE-biplot classified south-eastern Turkey into two mega-environments. AMMI and GGE biplot explained 86.49% and 86.43% of the total variation for grain yield, respectively. These result suggested that all three methods were equally efficient in determining the stability of the genotype. However, the GGE biplot methodology is more preferred than AMMI and Eberhart and Russel because it facilitates clearly visualize which-won-where pattern and the discriminating ability of environments.
