Construction of optimum index to maximize overall response across countries in the presence of genotype x environment interaction.

Abstract excerpt

Sire effect is partitioned into two parts: constant effect unaffected by environments and interaction effect specific to each environment and responsible for genotype x environment (GE) interaction. Response to selection for constant effect is the same across environments, thus increasing genetic stability, whereas response to selection for interaction effect would vary depending upon environments. The...
