Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of genomic selection (GS) in timothy (Phleum pratense L.), comparing nine prediction models across yield and quality traits at two Norwegian locations. Forward validation with independent full-sib (FS2) families revealed a substantial generalization gap, highlighting the need for realistic accuracy assessment in polyploid forage breeding. Timothy (Phleum...
