"Envirome" is a concept that relates the core of environmental conditions with the successful biological performance of living beings.
[12] In plants, the enviromics term was probably first scientifically mentioned by Xu,[13] in his iconic article on Envirotyping, and also comprehensively described by Resende et al.,[14] which is the field of applied data science that integrates databases of environmental factors into quantitative genetics.
[7] Then, it can leverage an important plant ecophysiology knowledge capable to bridge the gaps about how the environment acts across different levels of the systems biology (genes, transcripts, proteins, and metabolites).
The plant breeding community has experienced reduced costs for acquiring environmental sensors (e.g., weather stations) to be installed in the field trials while increasing the reliability and resolution of the remote sensing techniques.
This data is then used for training accurate GxE prediction models, mostly involving molecular breeding protocols in agriculture and forestry improvement.
[12] In the context of genetic epidemiology, interaction refers to the genes and the environment both participating in a causal way that departs from a simple additive model of the effects.
[3] Steven Rose has argued that in psychiatry, it is time to abandon the genome-envirome dichotomy altogether in favor of an integrative view of a person's life course.
