A new approach for multi-environment quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis based on an appropriate genetic model is presented. To accommodate a multi-environment analysis, the size of a QTL effect is assumed to be a random effect. The approach results in a multiplicative mixed model for QTL x environment interaction of the factor analytic type. The full genetic model may also include a factor analytic model for the residual genotype x environment interaction, whereas the environmental model for the non-genetic variation involves local, global, and extraneous variation. The approach is used to determine QTLs for yield in the Arapiles x Franklin doubled haploid population of the National Barley Molecular Marker Program. Analysis leads to the determination of 8 QTLs. Many of these QTLs are associated with other traits.
