Subject Groundnut
 
Description Current phenotrp models utilized by plant breeders partition traits, such as
reproductive yield 0,in to the 'statistical' components of genetic (G), environ.
mental (E), and genotype by environment (GxE) interaction. Raits such as
yield commonly have large GxE interaction tern. Breeders often have little
information concerning the physiological basis of this GxE interaction, thw
laving them without a clear idea of how to lunher exploit the material. Better
lrnowlrdge of the physiological basis for the differential rrsponra of genotypes
to spfiflc environments should improve the efficiency with which the breeder
w charaeterlze material for its G, and GxE interaction, and hence increase
thespeed at which superior gnotypes can be identified
