Abstract
Genotype by environment interaction (GE) is differential genotypic expression across environments. This chapter summarizes the implications for breeding of the reduction in association between phenotypic and genotypic values caused by GE. Statistical techniques for quantifying genotypic adaptation and for characterizing environments are presented, focusing mostly upon analyses of two-way tables of genotype by environment data. Genotype estimates for different environments in the same GE table may be derived using different methods of trial design and analysis.
