Key message Recent technological advances in wheat genomics provide new opportunities
to uncover genetic variation in traits of breeding interest and enable genome-based …

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are commonly used to quantify the inherited susceptibility for a
trait, yet they fail to account for non-linear and interaction effects between single nucleotide …

Forest tree breeding efforts have focused mainly on improving traits of economic importance,
selecting trees suited to new environments or generating trees that are more resilient to …

Kernel methods are flexible and easy to interpret and have been successfully used in
genomic-enabled prediction of various plant species. Kernel methods used in genomic …

Maize production in West and Central Africa (WCA) is constrained by a wide range of
interacting stresses that keep productivity below potential yields. Among the many problems …

In modern plant breeding, genomic selection is becoming the gold standard for selection of
superior genotypes. The basis for genomic prediction models is a set of phenotyped lines …
