Genomic selection for genotype performance and environmental stability in Coffea canephora.

ABSTRACT: Coffee is one of the most important beverages and trade products in the world. Among the multiple research initiatives focused on coffee sustainability, plant breeding provides the best means to increase phenotypic performance and release cultivars that could meet market demands. Since coffee is well adapted to a diversity of tropical environments, an important question for those confronting the problem of evaluating phenotypic performance is the relevance of genotype-by-environment interaction. As a perennial crop with a long juvenile phase, coffee is subjected to significant temporal and spatial variations. Such facts not only hinder the selection of promising materials but also cause a majority of complaints among growers. In this study, we hypothesized that trait stability in coffee is
