Summary The genetic properties of four types of stability parameter for individual genotypes were investigated using a set of diallel cross data (28 genotypes x four locations x 3 years). The specific parameters studied were: the variance of a genotype across environments (T1); the genotype x environment (GE) interaction effect for a genotype, squared and summed across all environments (T2); the residual mean square (MS) of deviations from the regression of a genotype on an environmental index (T3); and years within locations MS for a genotype, averaged over all locations (T4). Each stability statistic was fitted to the additive model, based on the assumption that if the stability parameter is heritable, stability of F1 is most likely to be the average stability of its parents. The results showed that T1 and T4 were additive, but T2 and T3 were not. A study of the consistency of stability rankings between two seeding rates over the same set of environments showed a similar pattern. It appears that stability parameters of types 1 and 4 are heritable, and thus useful for selection, while those of types 2 and 3 are nonheritable, and thus not useful.
