Solomon Fekybelu, Yash   Chauhan, Daniel Rodriguez, John Dimes  SIMLESA workshop, Brisbane, Sep. 2011 Environmental characterisation for genotype by environment matching  
E-characterization using simulation models ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Temp/Radiation. Rain  Soil
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Approaches of E-characterization
Clustering of probability distribution of  simulated yield
Yield cluster distribution follows a geographical pattern
Environment stress patterns
Clusters 4 & 5 have higher frequencies of terminal drought (sky blue and purple sections) No stress Mild Moderate Severe Flowering
Over 80% the variability in yield across environments was accounted by  drought frequencies in those environments
Summary ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Environmental characteristisation for genotype by environment matching. SIMLESA workshop. Solomon Fekybelu

Notas do Editor

  1. Maize breeding focuses at NQLD (high rainfall area) & South, central (drier) environments
  2. As you know crop grow in various type of contrasting environments. Plant breeders target a certain population of environment which correspond to the set of env. that crops might experienced within a defined geographic area that they’re interesting in. Breeders usually target a certain population of environments which reflect/integrate/gather/correspond the different environments to which their released cultivar will be exposed to. Comstock gave a definition of the TPE in 1977, saying that they correspond to the complete set of environment types in which crop can be grown within a geographical ares. Identification of the location
  3. E1-no stress, e2 flowering stress, e3-mild terminal, e4 moderate and
  4. Traits like ‘stay green’ may help with terminal stress Matching phenology may require developing quick maturing genotypes G-M for each target environment to enhance productivity and profitability of growing maize
