Acesso em: 21 out. 2025.1518-7853e- 1984-7033https://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/29009We present an R-based function for defining TPE as GIS-polygons, intended for use in enviromics studies. It offers customizable parameters, such as pixel size, buffer boundaries, and concavity, providing enhanced flexibility for G×E analysis. This tool optimizes genotypic, envirotypic, and spatial assessments, serving as a powerful resource for breeding research.engAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/‘TPEmap’ functionPrecision breedingEnvirotypingG×E interactionConcave/convex hullSpatial analysisDefining the target population of environments (TPE) for enviromics studies using R-based GIS toolsArtigo10.1590/1984-70332024v25n1s09
