3 The problem The problem In most agronomic traits, the effects of genes are modulated by environmental conditions, generating G E. Researchers working in plant breeding have developed multiple methods for accounting for, and exploiting G E in multi-environment trials. Genomic selection is gaining ground in plant breeding. Most applications so far are based on single-environment/single-trait models. Preliminary evidence (e.g., Burgueño et al., 2012) suggests that there is great scope for improving prediction accuracy using multi-environment models. The ideas can be taken one step further by incorporating information on environmental covariates. CIMMYT, México-SAGPDB Genomic Prediction and Selection for Multi-Environments 3/24

6 Models Models Model 1 (EL, Environment + Line, no pedigree) y ij = µ + E i + L i + e ij Model 2 (EA, Environment + Line, with markers) y ij = µ + E i + g j + e ij Model 3 (Environments, Line and interactions markes and environment) y ij = µ + E i + g j + Eg ij + e ij CIMMYT, México-SAGPDB Genomic Prediction and Selection for Multi-Environments 6/24

7 Assumptions Models It is assumed that E i N(0, σ 2 E ), g N(0, σ2 gg) with G being the genomic relationship matrix and Eg ij the interaction term between genotypes and environment. Eg N(0, (Z g GZ T g ) Z E Z T E), Z g connects genotypes with phenotypes, Z E connects phenotypes with environments, and stands for Hadamart product between two matrices.

8 Model fitting Description of Data Objects - Y, data frame containing the elements described below; - Y$yield: (nx1), a numeric vector with centered and standardized yield; - Y$VAR (nx1), a factor giving the IDs for the varieties; - Y$ENV (nx1), a factor giving the IDs for the environments; - A, a symmetric positive semi-definite matrix containing the pedigree or marker-based relationships (dimensions equal to number of lines by number of lines). We assume that the rownames(a)=colnames(a) gives the IDs of the lines; CIMMYT, México-SAGPDB Genomic Prediction and Selection for Multi-Environments 8/24
