Assessing the role of genotype by environment interaction as determinants of maize grain yield and lodging resistance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The development of superior summer maize hybrids with high-yield potential and essential agronomic traits, such as resistance to lodging, is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of maize cultivation. However, the task of identifying and breeding genotypes that exhibit exceptional performance and stability across multiple environment conditions, while considering a wide range of traits, is challenging. Given the backdrop of global climate change, understanding which climate variables and soil properties most significantly impact environmental similarity is essential for selecting hybrids with improved adaptability to regions with diverse climatic and soil conditions. This study aimed to integrate envirotyping techniques (ETs) with a multi-trait selection approach to ca
