Signals of local adaptation have been found in many plants and animals, highlighting the
heterogeneity in the distribution of adaptive genetic variation throughout species ranges. In …

Genomic-enabled prediction is becoming increasingly important in animal and plant
breeding and is also receiving attention in human genetics. Deriving accurate predictions of …

Genomic prediction is an effective way to accelerate the rate of agronomic trait improvement
in plants. Traditional methods typically use linear regression models with clear assumptions; …

More accurate and precise phenotyping strategies are necessary to empower high-
resolution linkage mapping and genome-wide association studies and for training genomic …

As one of the important concepts in conventional quantitative genetics and breeding, genetic
gain can be defined as the amount of increase in performance that is achieved annually …

Studying the genetics of adaptation to new environments in ecologically and industrially
important tree species is currently a major research line in the fields of plant science and …

Forest tree breeding has been successful at delivering genetically improved material for
multiple traits based on recurrent cycles of selection, mating, and testing. However, long …

Genetic correlations between quantitative traits measured in many breeding programs are
pervasive. These correlations indicate that measurements of one trait carry information on …

The genomic prediction of phenotypes and breeding values in animals and plants has
developed rapidly into its own research field. Results of genomic prediction studies are often …

The discovery of haploids in higher plants led to the use of doubled haploid (DH) technology
in plant breeding. This article provides the state of the art on DH technology including the …
