Multi-trait multi-environment Bayesian model reveals G x E interaction for nitrogen use efficiency components in tropical maize.

Identifying maize inbred lines that are more efficient in nitrogen (N) use is an important strategy and a necessity in the context of environmental and economic impacts attributed to the excessive N fertilization. N-uptake efficiency (NUpE) and N-utilization efficiency (NUtE) are components of N-use...
