Association analysis is used to measure relations between markers and quantitative trait loci
(QTL). Their estimation ignores genes with small effects that trigger underpinning …

Cold stress (CS) affects the survivability, geographical distribution, and yield stability of
crops. Suitable management and agronomic practices can minimize the crop losses …

An increase in the rate of crop improvement is essential for achieving sustained food
production and other needs of ever-increasing population. Genomic selection (GS) is a …

Prediction of genetic values has been a focus of applied quantitative genetics since the
beginning of the 20th century, with renewed interest following the advent of the era of whole …

The prediction of phenotypic traits using high-density genomic data has many applications
such as the selection of plants and animals of commercial interest; and it is expected to play …

We evaluated the performances of three BLUP and five Bayesian methods for genomic
prediction by using nine actual and 54 simulated datasets. The genomic prediction accuracy …

Main conclusion Genomic selection and its importance in crop breeding. Integration of GS
with new breeding tools and developing SOP for GS to achieve maximum genetic gain with …

Although increased use of modern breeding techniques and technology has resulted in long-
term genetic gain, the pace of genetic gain must be sped up to satisfy global agricultural …

Before implementation of genomic selection, evaluation of the potential accuracy of
prediction can be obtained by cross‐validation. In this procedure, a population with both …

Animal feeding is the most important economic component of beef production systems.
Selection for feed efficiency has not been effective mainly due to difficult and high costs to …
