Parametric relationships between the genotype x environment interaction and the genetic correlation of the same attribute measured in two different environments are derived. It is shown that the criticism by Fernando et al. (1984) of Yamada's method (1962) in the case of unbalanced data is irrelevan

β¦ Synopsis
Relationships between genotype x environment interaction and genetic correlation of the same trait measured in different fixed environments are derived by comparing the variance-covariance structures of observations between a one-way multiple-trait linear model and a two-way single-trait mixed linear model. In the latter model, heterogeneity of interaction variances among environments and non-zero covariances among interactions are assumed, in addition to the heterogeneity of error variances and non-zero covariances between genetic-group effects and interactions that were accommodated in earlier work. The results are applicable to more than two environments and to unbalanced data. This paper is a generalization and a correction of earlier works.
