Prospects for genomic selection in cassava breeding

2017-02-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a clonally propagated staple food crop in the tropics. Genomic selection (GS) reduces selection cycle times by the prediction of breeding value for selection of unevaluated lines based on genome-wide marker data. GS has been implemented at three breeding programs in sub-Saharan Africa. Initial studies provided promising estimates of predictive abilities in...
