Climate change is a major threat to most of the agricultural crops grown in tropical and sub-
tropical areas globally. Drought stress is one of the consequences of climate change that …

In the last decade the breeding technology referred to as 'genomic selection'(GS) has been
implemented in a variety of species, with particular success in animal breeding. Recent …

Key message New methods that incorporate the main and interaction effects of high-
dimensional markers and of high-dimensional environmental covariates gave increased …

Genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) is an important phenomenon in plant breeding.
This paper presents a series of models for describing, exploring, understanding, and …

A good statistical analysis of genotype× environment interactions (G× E) is a key
requirement for progress in any breeding program. Data for G× E analyses traditionally …

Key message Development of models to predict genotype by environment interactions, in
unobserved environments, using environmental covariates, a crop model and genomic …

The volume of publications on the development and to a lesser extent the application of
molecular markers in plant breeding has increased dramatically during the last decade …

Plant growth and development are influenced by the genetic composition of the plant (G),
the environment (E), and the interaction between them (G× E). To produce suitable …

Genomic selection (GS) models use genome-wide genetic information to predict genetic
values of candidates of selection. Originally, these models were developed without …

Genotype–environment interactions (GEI) limit genetic gain for complex traits such as
tolerance to drought. Characterization of the crop environment is an important step in …
