Epistasis refers to nonallelic interaction between genes that cause bias in estimates of
genetic parameters for a phenotype with interactions of two or more genes affecting the …

Genomic selection has been utilized for genetic improvement in both plant and animal
breeding and is a favorable technique for quantitative trait development. Within this study …

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 …

Breeding programs require exhaustive phenotyping of germplasms, which is time-
demanding and expensive. Genomic prediction helps breeders harness the diversity of any …

Background Validation by data truncation is a common practice in genetic evaluations
because of the interest in predicting the genetic merit of a set of young selection candidates …

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 dissection of genetic effects on desirable traits and the subsequent use of genomic
selection hold great promise for accelerating the rate of genetic improvement of forest tree …

Accelerating the rate of genetic gain of major crops is required to meet the projected global
demand for food. Genomic selection (GS) has made valuable contributions to the genetic …

The genetic architecture of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and its two component traits ie
NUpE (N uptake efficiency) and NUtE (N utilization efficiency) was studied using a bi …

Abstract Knowledge of the magnitude of gene effects and their interactions, their nature, and
contribution to determining quantitative traits is very important in conducting an effective …
