Inability to efficiently implement high-throughput field phenotyping is increasingly perceived
as a key component that limits genetic gain in breeding programs. Field phenotyping must …

Plantation forests are increasing rapidly in the world in order to alleviate deforestation and
degradation of natural forests, along with providing various goods and services. While …

LightGBM is an ensemble model of decision trees for classification and regression
prediction. We demonstrate its utility in genomic selection-assisted breeding with a large …

With an expected 9 billion people by 2050 and average income on the rise in the developing
world, meeting future food demand will be a challenge. Climate change, urbanisation and …

Plant genomes are so highly diverse that a substantial proportion of genomic sequences are
not shared among individuals. The variable DNA sequences, along with the conserved core …

Key message Genomic prediction based on additive genetic effects can accelerate genetic
gain. There are opportunities for further improvement by including non-additive effects that …

With the rapid increase in the global population and the impact of climate change on
agriculture, there is a need for crops with higher yields and greater tolerance to abiotic …

Genomic selection (GS) is a promising approach exploiting molecular genetic markers to
design novel breeding programs and to develop new markers-based models for genetic …

High-throughput field phenotyping has garnered major attention in recent years leading to
the development of several new protocols for recording various plant traits of interest …

Warming and drought are reducing global crop production with a potential to substantially
worsen global malnutrition. As with the green revolution in the last century, plant genetics …
