Using Partial Least Squares Regression, Factorial Regression, and AMMI Models for Interpreting Genotype × Environment Interaction

Partial least squares (PLS) and factorial regression (FR) are statistical models that incorporate external environmental and/or cultivar variables for studying and interpreting genotype × environment interaction (GEl). The Additive Main effect and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) model uses only the phenotypic response variable of interest; however, if information on external environmental (or genotypic) variables is available, this can be...
