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 …

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

There is an ongoing endeavor within the potato breeding sector to rapidly adapt potato from
a clonal polyploid crop to a diploid hybrid potato crop. While hybrid breeding allows for the …

Inbreeding depression (ID) is caused by increased homozygosity in the offspring after
selfing. Although the self-compatible, highly heterozygous, tetrasomic polyploid potato …

This review highlights-omics research in Solanaceae family, with a particular focus on
resilient traits. Extensive research has enriched our understanding of Solanaceae genomics …

It is of paramount importance in plant breeding to have methods dealing with large numbers
of predictor variables and few sample observations, as well as efficient methods for dealing …

Genetic gains (ΔG) are determined by the breeders' equation ΔG=[(ck σ2G)/(y σP)], where c,
k and y are the parental control, a function of the selection intensity and number of years to …

In this study, we extend research on genomic prediction (GP) to polysomic polyploid plant
species with the main objective to investigate single-trait (ST) and multitrait (MT) …

The genetic improvement of crops faces the significant challenge of feeding an ever-
increasing population amidst a changing climate, and when governments are adopting a …

Genomic prediction and genome-wide association studies are becoming widely employed
in potato key performance trait QTL identifications and to support potato breeding using …
