The
PC1 x Mean Trait for Genotypes and Environments
tab contains the following elements:
This biplot has the value of the first
principal component
from the linear-bilinear model on the
y
-axis and the
mean
trait
on the
x
-axis, with
genotypes
represented by blue triangles and
environments
represented by red circles on the same plot.
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)
