Efficient plant breeding plays a significant role in increasing crop yields and attaining food security under climate change. Screening new cultivars through yield trials in multi-environments has improved crop yields, but the accumulated data from these trials has not been effectively upcycled. We propose a simple method that quantifies cultivar-specific productivity characteristics using two regression coefficients: yield-ability (β) and yield-plasticity (α).

Genomic selection (GS) is expected to accelerate plant and animal breeding. During the last decade, genome-wide polymorphism data have increased, which has raised concerns about storage cost and computational time. Several individual studies have attempted to compress the genome data and predict phenotypes.
