Genotype X Environment Interactions And Its Implications For Plant Breeding

This book sheds light on genotype × environment interactions in plant breeding, providing a detailed examination of how these interactions affect crop performance and yield stability. The latest univariate and multivariate methods for analyzing G×E interactions, as well as practical applications in crop breeding programs, have been covered. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including the impact of climate change on crop stability, QTL × environment interactions, and the role of environmental stresses and soil properties in influencing G×E interactions. The authors present an expert analysis of these issues through empirical research and case studies, offering new insights into how plant breeders can optimize crop yields under varying environmental conditions. This book is a must-read for plant breeders, agronomists and agricultural researchers, as well as post-graduate students specializing in plant breeding.
