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 …

Although long-term genetic gain has been achieved through increasing use of modern
breeding methods and technologies, the rate of genetic gain needs to be accelerated to …

Continued increases in genetic gain demonstrate the success of established public and
private plant breeding programs. Nevertheless, in the last two decades, a growing body of …

Highly efficient and accurate selection of elite genotypes can lead to dramatic shortening of
the breeding cycle in major crops relevant for sustaining present demands for food, feed …

Rice (Oryza sativa) provides a staple food source for more than half the world population.
However, the current pace of rice breeding in yield growth is insufficient to meet the food …

Genomic selection is revolutionizing plant breeding and therefore methods that improve
prediction accuracy are useful. For this reason, active research is being conducted to build …

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 …

Modern whole-genome prediction (WGP) frameworks that focus on multi-environment trials
(MET) integrate large-scale genomics, phenomics, and envirotyping data. However, the …

The phenomenon of genotype× environment (G× E) interaction in plant breeding decreases
selection accuracy, thereby negatively affecting genetic gains. Several genomic prediction …

Monoculture cropping systems currently dominate temperate agroecosystems. However,
intercropping can provide valuable benefits, including greater yield stability, increased total …
