Abstract

Genomic selection (GS) facilitates the rapid selection of superior genotypes and accelerates the breeding cycle. In this review, we discuss the history, principles, and basis of GS and genomic-enabled prediction (GP) as well as the genetics and statistical complexities of GP models, including genomic genotype×environment (G×E) interactions. We also examine the accuracy of GP models and methods for two cereal crops and two legume crops based on random cross-validation. GS applied to maize breeding has shown tangible genetic gains. Based on GP results, we speculate how GS in germplasm enhancement (i.e., prebreeding) programs could accelerate the flow of genes from gene bank accessions to elite lines. Recent advances in hyperspectral image technology could be combined with GS and pedigree-assisted breeding.

  • WGP models including envirotyping analysis can be used to mimic the linear response of the phenotypic performance of genotypes over a certain type of environmental gradient (envirotype), i.e., the reaction norm, in which the GE effects are studied as an extension of the GBLUP.

    “WGP models including the so-called envirotyping (Xu 2016) analysis can be used to mimic the linear response of the phenotypic performance of genotypes over a certain type of environmental gradient (envirotype), i.e., the reaction norm (Jarquín et al. 2014; Crossa et al. 2017), in which the GE effects are studied as an extension of the GBLUP.”

  • Prediction-based strategies employing genomic-assisted data are responsible for the greatest leaps in genetic gain and reduction of time between selection cycles in both animal- and plant-breeding programs.

    “Prediction-based strategies employing genomic-assisted data (Meuwissen et al. 2001) are responsible for the greatest leaps in genetic gain and reduction of time between selection cycles in both animal- and plant-breeding programs (Crossa et al. 2017; Voss-Fels et al. 2019).”

    The Trends section reports that genomic selection can halve the breeding-cycle interval in CIMMYT maize, and the Concluding Remarks say it can enhance genetic gains in plant breeding. The paper does not establish that these strategies produced the greatest gains across breeding methods, or substantiate the claim for animal-breeding programs. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Other methods consider the complete genetic values of individuals, including both additive and nonadditive (dominance and epistasis) effects, thereby estimating the genetic performance of the lines or hybrids.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
