Potato breeding must improve its efficiency by increasing the reliability of selection as well
as identifying a promising germplasm for crossing. This study shows the prediction accuracy …

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

The study aimed at investigating whether the adoption of improved potato varieties by
smallholder farmers would enhance their resilience to food insecurity or not, based on …

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) …

Identification of superior parental lines require phenotypic or genotypic characterization of
the germplasm, which is time consuming and laborious. The advanced potato breeding …

smallholder farmers would enhance their resilience to food insecurity or not, based on …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth most important food crop globally and is the
largest acreage non-cereal crop after rice, wheat, and maize. Precise trait phenotyping is …
