Summary
The usefulness of three-mode principal component analysis to explore multi-attribute genotype-environment interaction is investigated. The technique provides a general description of the underlying patterns present in the data in terms of interactions of the three quantities (attributes, genotypes, and environments) involved. As an example, data from an Australian experiment on the breeding of soybean lines are treated in depth.
