Improving the accuracy of genomic predictions in an outcrossing species with hybrid cultivars between heterozygote parents: a case study of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.).

Abstract excerpt

Genomic selection (GS) is a method of marker-assisted selection revolutionizing crop improvement, but it can still be optimized. For hybrid breeding between heterozygote parents of different populations or species, specific aspects can be considered to increase GS accuracy: (1) training population genotyping, i.e., only genotyping the hybrid parents or also a sample of hybrid individuals, and (2) marker effects...
