Abstract excerpt
Maize ( L.) kernel oil provides high-quality nutrition for animal feed and human health. A certain number of maize breeding programs seek to enhance oil concentration and composition. Genomic selection (GS), which entails selection based on genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs), has proven to be efficient in breeding programs. Here, we estimate the robustness of predictions for the oil traits of maize kernels...
