Abstract excerpt
A breeding goal accounting for the effects of genotype by environment interaction (G x E) has to define not only traits but also the environment in which those traits are to be improved. The aim of this study was to predict the selection response in the coefficients of a linear reaction norm, and response in average phenotypic value in any environment, when mass selection is applied to a trait where G x E is...
