Mean yield vs Yield Factor Loadings/Scores from D*FA(1) Model Mean yield and mean factor environment loadings or genotype scores on the yield factor from D*FA(1) model are displayed for the seven environment clusters defined by weather variables and for nine hybrid clusters defined by marker data. A tenth hybrid cluster (Ontario) was not included because its yield performance was observed 10 or fewer times in four of the environment clusters.<br>Figure S7.

Combining Phenotype Datasets R code This script combines trait data from years 2014-16 of G2F project and does some quality control checking and filtering. File S3. G2F Environmental Data Processing Functions.R This file contains functions for processing G2F weather data from cleaned files. The first function, plant, computes days since planting for each location. The second function, DailyMeans computes daily values for covariates from data taken throughout a given day at a location using Julian date format. The third function uses a while loop to allow the user to specify the sliding window size for their environmental data output. Between steps assume that the user has filled in any missing values using an appropriate source.<br>File S4.
