Enhancing genomic predictive ability of yield and yield-related traits in spring wheat by integrating major plant adaptation genes as a fixed effect.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic selection (GS) has emerged as a promising approach in plant breeding, especially for complex traits like grain yield that are influenced by many small-effect quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Choosing the optimal prediction model is important for GS. Using 4 years of field data from a diverse panel of spring wheat lines, the present study assessed the ability of seven statistical models to predict grain...
