The book contains chapters which consider; (i) theoretical and applied aspects of analysing plant adaptation in multi-environment experiments, (ii) how information on plant adaptation can be used in plant breeding programs, (iii) selection for plant adaptation, (iv) Genotype by Environment (GxE) interactions in plant breeding, (v) methodologies for interpreting the causes of GxE interactions, (vi) case studies on how to accommodate the effects of GxE interactions, (vii) research strategies for understanding GxE interactions and differences in plant adaptation, and other topics related to crop improvement." "There is a particular focus on the opportunities for increasing the efficiency of crop improvement by understanding the basis of variation for plant adaptation in agricultural production systems. Crop improvement strategies based on combinations of the statistical modelling methodologies used by plant breeders and the crop modelling methodologies used by crop physiologists/agronomists are developed and case studies discussed. The book captures much of the experience of scientists from around the world (e.g. in Australia and centres such as IRRI, ICRISAT and CIMMYT) who have worked on the challenging problem of achieving crop improvement in variable crop production systems. It represents a major synthesis for workers in plant breeding, crop physiology and agronomy."--Jacket.
