The
2D Biplots
tab is shown below:
The
2D Biplots
tab contains the following elements:
For each of the three pairs of the first 3
principal components
from the linear-bilinear model, a plot is displayed with a symbol at the value of the pair of principal components, one on the
y
-axis and one on the
x
-axis, for each
genotype
and each
environment
.
In general, a genotype "close to" an environment, in terms of the angle between the vectors drawn from the origin to the genotype and environment symbols, shows specific adaptation to that environment. Genotype points that are close to the origin show a broader adaptation to the environments. See Gower and Hand (1996)
