The rapid development of remote sensing in agronomic research allows the dynamic nature
of longitudinal traits to be adequately described, which may enhance the genetic …

Generating genomics-driven knowledge opens a way to accelerate the resistance breeding
process by family or population mapping and genomic selection. Important prerequisites are …

Key message Genomic selection shows great promise for pre-selecting lines with superior
bread baking quality in early generations, 3 years ahead of labour-intensive, time …

Genomic selection (GS) is becoming an essential tool in breeding programs due to its role in
increasing genetic gain per unit time. The design of the training set (TRS) in GS is one of the …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding programs can take over a decade to release a new
variety. However, new methods of selection, such as genomic selection (GS), must be …

Key message We propose a criterion to predict genomic selection efficiency for structured
populations. This criterion is useful to define optimal calibration set and to estimate …

Rye is the only cross-pollinating small-grain cereal. The unique reproduction biology results
in an exceptional complexity concerning genetic improvement of rye by breeding. Rye is a …

Genomic models for prediction of additive and non-additive effects within and across
different heterotic groups are lacking for breeding of hybrid crops. In this study, genomic …

Rye is a robust and stress-tolerant cereal, grown on 4.4 million hectares, mainly in
Northeastern Europe. Grain yields range, on average, from 2.0 to 5.8 mt ha− 1 on farm level …

Verticillium wilt (VW), a devastating vascular wilt disease of strawberry (Fragaria× *
ananassa), has caused economic losses for nearly a century. This disease is caused by the …
