Thailand is a tropical country affected by global climate change and has high temperatures
and humidity that cause heat stress in livestock. A temperature–humidity index (THI) is …

Drought is increasingly frequent in the context of climate change and is considered a major
constraint for crop yield. Water scarcity can impair growth, disturb plant water relations and …

When Mendel's work was rediscovered in 1900, and extended to establish classical
genetics, it was initially seen in opposition to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural …

The development of strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier) cultivars resistant
to Phytophthora crown rot (PhCR), a devastating disease caused by the soil‐borne …

Empirical estimates of the accuracy of estimates of breeding values (EBV) can be obtained
by cross‐validation. Leave‐one‐out cross‐validation (LOOCV) is an extreme case of k‐fold …

Multi-trait and multi-environment analyses can improve genomic prediction by exploiting
between-trait correlations and genotype-by-environment interactions. In the context of …

Genomic selection (GS) has been widely used in livestock breeding. However, the long-term
impact of GS on genetic gain, as well as inbreeding levels, has not been fully explored in …

In recent years, genomic selection has been widely used in plant breeding to increase
genetic gain. Selections are based on breeding values of each genotype estimated using …

Since its initial description in 2001, and with falling costs of genotyping, genomic selection
has been implemented in a wide range of species. Theory predicts that the genomic …

Introduction In plant breeding, we often aim to improve multiple traits at once. However,
without knowing the economic value of each trait, it is hard to decide which traits to focus on …
