Joint modeling of social genetic effects in mono- and pluri-specific groups: case study in intercrops.

Abstract excerpt

The genetics of interspecific groups remains largely unexplored, despite the central role of social (or indirect) genetic effects in shaping phenotypic expression within communities. Intercropping, ie the simultaneous cultivation of multiple crop species in the same field, offers a powerful model to harness these interspecific social effects. Such species mixtures provide well-documented agricultural benefits,...
