Key message Best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP), which uses pedigree to estimate
breeding values, can result in increased genetic gains for low heritability traits in …

Estimated breeding values using best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) through pedigree
relationship can enhance selection efficiency and save time as well as resources in …

As one of the world's most important food crops, the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) has
spurred innovation in autotetraploid genetics, including in the use of SNP arrays to …

Key message Potatoes are highly heterozygous and the conventional breeding of superior
germplasm is challenging, but use of a combination of MAS and EBVs can accelerate …

Using genomic information to predict phenotypes can improve the accuracy of estimated
breeding values and can potentially increase genetic gain over conventional breeding. In …

Potato breeding relies heavily on visual phenotypic scoring for clonal selection. Obtaining
robust phenotypic data can be labor intensive and expensive, especially in the early cycles …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) breeders consider a large number of traits during cultivar
development and progress in conventional breeding can be slow. There is accumulating …

Genomic prediction is a routine tool in breeding programs of most major animal and plant
species. However, its usefulness for potato breeding has not yet been evaluated in detail …

Key message Polypoid crop breeders can balance resources between density and
sequencing depth, dosage information and fewer highly informative SNPs recommended …

There is an ongoing endeavor within the potato breeding sector to rapidly adapt potato from
a clonal polyploid crop to a diploid hybrid potato crop. While hybrid breeding allows for the …
