Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Complex traits in sugarcane can be accurately predicted using genome-wide DNA markers. Genomic single-step prediction is an attractive method for genomic selection in commercial breeding programs. Sugarcane breeding programs have achieved up to 1% genetic gain in key traits such as tonnes of cane per hectare (TCH), commercial cane sugar (CCS) and Fibre content over the past decades. Here, we assess...
