Abstract:
Genotype-by-environment (GE) interaction exists when different cultivars or strains have different phenotypic responses to environmental variation (Merila and Fry 1998). The phenomenon is of major concern in plant breeding, as it can limit gains in selecting superior cultivars. In animal breeding, the problem is also an important issue because breeding stocks are developed by a few companies but are used worldwide (Lin and Togashi 2002).

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
