GENOTYPE x ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS

Population‐specific genotype x genotype x environment interactions in bacterial disease of early life stages of Pacific oyster larvae

The consequences of emerging marine diseases on the evolutionary trajectories of affected host populations in the marine realm are largely unexplored. Evolution in response to natural selection depends on the genetic variation of the traits under selection and the interaction of these traits with the environment (GxE). However, in the case of diseases, pathogen genotypes add another dimension t...

Parametric model based assessment of genotype×environment interactions for grain yield in durum wheat under irrigation

The objectives of this study were to assess the genotype (G) by environment (E) interaction of grain yield of durum wheat(Triticum durum Desf.) based on parametric models, additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and joint linear regression models; and compare the relative efficiency of the two models in explaining the GE effects. Twenty-three genotypes were evaluated across ...

Heterosis associated with genotype-environment interactions.

SE of hybrid vigor is of great importance in terms of present-day agricultural production. For example GARDNER (1968) states: ". . . Development and use of heterosis has been the most important practical achievement of genetics so far. The monetary value of the increase in corn production due to use of heterosis for a single year has been estimated to exceed the total cost of federal research f...

Genotype x environment interaction in the regional testing of safflower cultivars

Genotype X Environment Interactions and Its Impact on Use of Medicinal Plants

There is a paradigm shift from cure to prevention when it comes to human health. We want to live a healthy life and prevent sickness using substances other than pharmaceuticals. The plant-based nutraceutical products or Natural Health Products (NHPs) as they are some times referred to are the most important groups that have the potential to fit the bill. However, these products are sold without...
