Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Genomic selection (GS) facilitates the rapid selection of superior genotypes and accelerates
the breeding cycle. In this review, we discuss the history, principles, and basis of GS and …

Genomic selection-the prediction of breeding values using DNA polymorphisms-is a
disruptive method that has widely been adopted by animal and plant breeders to increase …

Maize (Zea mays L.) has been a focus of scientific research and breeding for over a century.
It is also one of the most economically important crops in the world, with a value of …

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

Our era has witnessed tremendous advances in plant genomics, characterized by an
explosion of high-throughput techniques to identify multi-dimensional genome-wide …

Leveraging innovative tools to speed up prebreeding and discovery of genotypic sources of
adaptation from landraces, crop wild relatives, and orphan crops is a key prerequisite to …

By formalizing traits as the result of genotypic and environmental effects and the relations
among traits, ecophysiological models (or process-based models) provide a platform for …

Crops are the major source of food supply and raw materials for the processing industry. A
balance between crop production and food consumption is continually threatened by plant …

Crop production is the primary goal of agricultural activities, which is always taken into
consideration. However, global agricultural systems are coming under increasing pressure …
