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 …

The past decade has seen a tremendous shift toward using next-generation sequencing
(NGS) technologies for development of powerful tools to identify underlying genes for both …

Although long-term genetic gain has been achieved through increasing use of modern
breeding methods and technologies, the rate of genetic gain needs to be accelerated to …

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 …

Despite important strides in marker technologies, the use of marker‐assisted selection has
stagnated for the improvement of quantitative traits. Biparental mating designs for the …

Plant geneticists and breeders have used marker technology since the 1980s in quantitative
trait locus (QTL) identification. Marker-assisted selection is effective for large-effect QTL but …

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 …

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 …

Genomic selection (GS) has created a lot of excitement and expectations in the animal‐and
plant‐breeding research communities. In this review, we briefly describe how genomic …

Since the inception of the theory and conceptual framework of genomic selection (GS),
extensive research has been done on evaluating its efficiency for utilization in crop …
