The role of computer simulation tools linked to information management systems for data generated from analysis of genotype-environment systems is discussed as an enabling technology to evaluate alternative molecu1ar-conventional breeding strategies. There is a growing need for such a strategic research approach as we improve our understanding of the relationships between gene and phenotype for important traits targeted in breeding programs. A proposed decision support system that can be tailored for individual breeding programs is described and discussed in relation to co11aborative work between Australian and CIMMYT wheat breeding programs.
