Impacts of QTL x environment interactions on genetic response to marker-assisted selection.

Abstract excerpt

Genotype x environment (GE) interaction is a common characteristic for quantitative traits, and has been a subject of great concern for breeding programs. Simulation studies were conducted to investigate the effects of GE interaction on genetic response to marker-assisted selection (MAS). In our study we demonstrated that MAS is generally more efficient than phenotypic selection in the presence of GE interaction,...
