Genome-wide identification of genes enabling accurate prediction of hybrid performance from parents across environments and populations for gene-based breeding in maize.

Abstract excerpt

Accurate prediction of hybrid offspring complex trait phenotype from parents is paramount to enhanced plant breeding, animal breeding, and human medicine. Here we report genome-wide identification of genes enabling accurate prediction of hybrid offspring complex traits from parents using maize grain yield as the target trait. We identified 181 ZmF1GY genes enabling prediction of maize (Zea mays L.) F1 hybrid...
