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

Wheat (Triticum spp and, particularly, T. aestivum L.) is an essential cereal with increased
human and animal nutritional demand. Therefore, there is a need to enhance wheat yield …

Key message We validated the efficiency of genomic predictions calibrated on sparse
factorial training sets to predict the next generation of hybrids and tested different strategies …

Key message Genomic prediction of GCA effects based on model training with full-sib rather
than half-sib families yields higher short-and long-term selection gain in reciprocal recurrent …

Key message Selection response in truncation selection across multiple sets of candidates
hinges on their post-selection proportions, which can deviate grossly from their initial …

Rohan Fernando is known and celebrated for many outstanding technical contributions to
Animal Breeding and Quantitative Genetics [1]. The intent of this Editorial is to provide a …

Soil serves as both a medium and a source of beneficial microorganisms that help to
improve plant health and productivity of crop plants. These microorganisms establish mutual …

Developing elite pure lines is the most common breeding process for self-pollinating crops.
The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of genomic selection in pure line …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop cultivated globally for its various
uses in food, feed, and beverage industries. Developing high-yielding barley cultivars with …
