Since the inception of the theory and conceptual framework of genomic selection (GS),
extensive research has been done on evaluating its efficiency for utilization in crop …

Background Cereal crops are a primary energy source for humans. Grain size and weight
affect both evolutionary fitness and grain yield of cereals. Although studies on gene mining …

In plant and animal breeding, genomic prediction models are established to select new lines
based on genomic data, without the need for laborious phenotyping. Prediction models can …

Septoria tritici blotch (STB) caused by the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici and powdery
mildew (PM) caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp tritici (Bgt) are among the forefront foliar …

Genomic selection, the application of genomic prediction (GP) models to select candidate
individuals, has significantly advanced in the past two decades, effectively accelerating …

Conventional pre-genomics breeding methodologies have significantly improved crop yields
since the mid-twentieth century. Genomics provides breeders with advanced tools for whole …

Awns are stiff, hair‐like structures which grow from the lemmas of wheat (Triticum aestivum)
and other grasses that contribute to photosynthesis and play a role in seed dispersal …

Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) is a foliar disease of wheat caused by the necrotrophic
fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum. Research over the last two decades has …

In order to meet the goal of doubling wheat yield by 2050, breeders must work to improve
breeding program efficiency while also implementing new and improved technologies in …

Abstract Key message Maximizing CDmean and Avg_GRM_self were the best criteria for
training set optimization. A training set size of 50–55%(targeted) or 65–85%(untargeted) is …
