Abstract
Cereal crops are highly vulnerable to extreme climatic events. The limited genetic diversity of
elite germplasm used in modern breeding constrains the development of high-yielding and
stable cultivars under climate change. Consequently, understanding genotype × environment
interactions (GEI), which are commonly revealed through multi-environment trials (METs),
has become essential. As climate conditions continue to shift, crops must be adapted to sustain
current production levels. Large-scale exploration of GEI therefore represents a critical step
toward the development of high-yielding, resilient, and stable cultivars in a changing climate.
