What is GGE biplot? • A software program designed by Weikai Yan • GGE stands for Genotype main effect and Genotype X Environment interaction • Scatter plot that plots both genotypes and environments in the same plot
What can it do? • Show patterns in the data • Identify the best or worst cultivars in certain environments • Show relationships among environments • Mega environments • Show discriminating ability of an environment
What can’t it do? • Show statistical significance • Everything is relative • Units mean nothing • Take interesting pattern and go back to the original data to perform statistical analysis
What types of data can GGE biplot be use for? • Genotype by environment data on a single trait – ex. Yield • Genotype by trait two-way data- ex yield, height, and maturity • Diallel cross data – ex identify good combining ability • In fact any two-way matrix data can be done
How does it work? • Principal component analysis is run on the data • PC1 by PC2 is plotted • Can look at other PCs • PC1 represents mostly genotype effect • PC2 represents mostly GXE interaction
How does it work? cont. • What about the environment main effect? • Removed before principal component analysis is done • Expect there to be an effect, but it is not important from a breeder’s perspective
What can it do? • Show patterns in the data • Identify the best or worst cultivars in certain environments • Show relationships among environments • Mega environments • Show discriminating ability of an environment
