Maize has traditionally been the main staple diet in the Southern Asia and Sub-Saharan
Africa and widely grown by millions of resource poor small scale farmers. Approximately …

In maize breeding, genomic prediction may be an efficient tool for selecting single-crosses
evaluated under abiotic stress conditions. In addition, a promising strategy is applying …

Flax is an important economic crop for seed oil and stem fiber. Phenotyping of traits such as
seed yield, seed quality, stem fiber yield, and quality characteristics is expensive and time …

In tropical maize breeding programs where more than two heterotic groups are crossed,
factors such as population structure (PS) can influence the achievement of reliable estimates …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is one of the most important leguminous forages, widely planted in
temperate and subtropical regions. As a homozygous tetraploid, its complex genetic …

Phenotypic datasets in plant breeding are commonly incomplete due to missing phenotypic
information. The best approach for correcting these datasets for a stage‐wise genomic …

The objective of this study was to compare the selection of maize lines by genomic selection
and phenotypic selection, performed on the basis of selection indices rather than on each …

Genomic selection (GS) is an efficient way for trait improvement in crops. GS for kernel
dehydration rate (KDR) has not been reported until now. The elite single-cross hybrid …

Plant breeders have been trying to predict the performance of hybrids based on their
parental performance. One application of molecular markers is its use in selection. The …

One of the most explored crop plants in genomics studies is maize (Zea mays L.). It has
served as a model for developing and incorporating biotechnology and genomics …
