Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Perennial ryegrass shows extensive genotype x environment interactions at the limit of its ecological niche. Accounting for GxE may improve prediction even when environmental and genetic samples are highly diverse. BACKGROUND: In breeding the aim is to identify and accumulate beneficial variants. However, detection of these variants may be challenging in the presence of extensive genotype x...
