heterogeneous environments. Genotype by environment interaction
(G × E) can occur due to differences in the sensitivity of individuals to
the nucleus and production environments. In the presence of G × E,
re-ranking of individuals and heterogeneity of genetic variance makes
genetic improvement obtained by selecting individuals in one environment
to differ with other environments (Lynch and Walsh, 1998;
Kolmodin et al., 2002; Sae-Lim et al., 2014).
