Genotype × environment interaction and adaptation

  • Chapter
Plant Breeding

Part of the book series: Plant Breeding Series ((PLBR))

Abstract

This chapter has two objectives: first, to discuss implications of genotype by environment interaction (G×E) for breeding and second, to present major statistical models for assessing genotypic adaptation. We concentrate on widely used methodologies and on that which we believe will be extensively applied, but acknowledge the subjective element in such decisions.
