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 …

While hybrid breeding is widely applied in outbreeding species, for many self‐pollinating
crop plants, it has only recently been established. This may have had its reason in the …

Genomic selection (GS) and marker-assisted selection (MAS) rely on marker–trait
associations and are both routinely used for breeding purposes. Although similar, these two …

Hybrid breeding is the main strategy for improving productivity in many crops, especially in
rice and maize. Genomic hybrid breeding is a technology that uses whole‐genome markers …

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 …

Genomic selection (GS) models have been validated for many quantitative traits in wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) breeding. However, those models are mostly constrained within the …

Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) is highly consumed in the United States, but does not make major
contributions to the daily intake of carotenoids (provitamin A carotenoids, lutein and …

Pea is an important food and feed crop and a valuable component of low-input farming
systems. Improving resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses is a major breeding target to …

Key message Hyperspectral and genomic data are effective predictors of biomass yield in
winter rye. Variable selection procedures can improve the informativeness of reflectance …

The prediction accuracies of genomic selection depend on several factors, including the
genetic architecture of target traits, the number of traits considered at a given time, and the …
