Expression of a phenotype is a function of the genotype, the environment, and the differen- tial sensitivity of certain genotypes to different environments, also known as genotype by envi- ronment (GE) interaction. This special issue of Crop Science includes a collection of man- uscripts that reviews the long history of GE research, describes new and innovative ideas, and outlines future challenges. Improving our understanding of these complex interactions is expected to accelerate plant breeding progress, minimize risk through improved cultivar deploy- ment, and improve the efficiency of crop pro - duction through informed agriculture. Achieving these goals requires the integration of broad and diverse science and technology disciplines.
