    Abstract

    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
