There are many sources of variability in gene–phenotype associations. During the measurement of genotype and phenotype and during selection, researchers must deal with experimental error in trials; gene-gene interaction (epistasis) for sub-traits and observed traits; trait-trait interaction (pleiotropy) and gene- or genotype-by-environment interaction. These effects can be structured in a framework that allows simulation of the entire gene-environment ‘landscape’. Studies of these landscapes have been published by others. Here we aim to explain with simple examples some of the types of insights that can be made. A current challenge for breeders working with simple marker–phenotype associations is to design selection strategies that can rapidly create new... |
