  • A reaction norm model for genomic selection using high-dimensional genomic and environmental data
    (Springer, 2013) Jarquin, D.; Crossa, J.; Lacaze, X.; Cheyron, P. Du; Daucourt, J.; Lorgeou, J.; Piraux, F.; Guerreiro, L.; Pérez-Rodríguez, P.; Calus, M.; Burgueño, J.; De Los Campos, G.
    In most agricultural crops the effects of genes on traits are modulated by environmental conditions, leading to genetic by environmental interaction (G × E). Modern genotyping technologies allow characterizing genomes in great detail and modern information systems can generate large volumes of environmental data. In principle, G × E can be accounted for using interactions between markers and environmental covariates (ECs). However, when genotypic and environmental information is high dimensional, modeling all possible interactions explicitly becomes infeasible. In this article we show how to model interactions between high-dimensional sets of markers and ECs using covariance functions. The model presented here consists of (random) reaction norm where the genetic and environmental gradients are described as linear functions of markers and of ECs, respectively. We assessed the proposed method using data from Arvalis, consisting of 139 wheat lines genotyped with 2,395 SNPs and evaluated for grain yield over 8 years and various locations within northern France. A total of 68 ECs, defined based on five phases of the phenology of the crop, were used in the analysis. Interaction terms accounted for a sizable proportion (16 %) of the within-environment yield variance, and the prediction accuracy of models including interaction terms was substantially higher (17–34 %) than that of models based on main effects only. Breeding for target environmental conditions has become a central priority of most breeding programs. Methods, like the one presented here, that can capitalize upon the wealth of genomic and environmental information available, will become increasingly important.

  • A hierarchical bayesian estimation model for multienvironment plant breeding trials in successive years
    (Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), 2016) Jarquin, D.; Pérez-Elizalde, S.; Burgueño, J.; Crossa, J.
    In agriculture and plant breeding, multienvironment trials over multiple years are conducted to evaluate and predict genotypic performance under different environmental conditions and to analyze, study, and interpret genotype´ environment interaction (G x E). In this study, we propose a hierarchical Bayesian formulation of a linear–bilinear model, where the conditional conjugate prior for the bilinear (multiplicative) G x E term is the matrix von Mises–Fisher (mVMF) distribution (with environments and sites defined as synonymous). A hierarchical normal structure is assumed for linear effects of sites, and priors for precision parameters are assumed to follow gamma distributions. Bivariate highest posterior density (HPD) regions for the posterior multiplicative components of the interaction are shown within the usual biplots. Simulated and real maize (Zea mays L.) breeding multisite data sets were analyzed. Results showed that the proposed model facilitates identifying groups of genotypes and sites that cause G ´ E across years and within years, since the hierarchical Bayesian structure allows using plant breeding data from different years by borrowing information among them. This model offers the researcher valuable information about G x E patterns not only for each 1-yr period of the breeding trials but also for the general process that originates the response across these periods.

  • Genomic-enabled prediction in maize using kernel models with genotype x environment interaction
    (Genetics Society of America, 2017) Bandeira e Sousa, M.; Cuevas, J.; Couto, E.; Pérez-Rodríguez, P.; Jarquin, D.; Fritsche-Neto, R.; Burgueño, J.; Crossa, J.
    Multi-environment trials are routinely conducted in plant breeding to select candidates for the next selection cycle. In this study, we compare the prediction accuracy of four developed genomic-enabled prediction models: (1) single-environment, main genotypic effect model (SM); (2) multi-environment, main genotypic effects model (MM); (3) multi-environment, single variance G×E deviation model (MDs); and (4) multi-environment, environment-specific variance G×E deviation model (MDe). Each of these four models were fitted using two kernel methods: a linear kernel Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Predictor, GBLUP (GB), and a nonlinear kernel Gaussian kernel (GK). The eight model-method combinations were applied to two extensive Brazilian maize data sets (HEL and USP data sets), having different numbers of maize hybrids evaluated in different environments for grain yield (GY), plant height (PH), and ear height (EH). Results show that the MDe and the MDs models fitted with the Gaussian kernel (MDe-GK, and MDs-GK) had the highest prediction accuracy. For GY in the HEL data set, the increase in prediction accuracy of SM-GK over SM-GB ranged from 9 to 32%. For the MM, MDs, and MDe models, the increase in prediction accuracy of GK over GB ranged from 9 to 49%. For GY in the USP data set, the increase in prediction accuracy of SM-GK over SM-GB ranged from 0 to 7%. For the MM, MDs, and MDe models, the increase in prediction accuracy of GK over GB ranged from 34 to 70%. For traits PH and EH, gains in prediction accuracy of models with GK compared to models with GB were smaller than those achieved in GY. Also, these gains in prediction accuracy decreased when a more difficult prediction problem was studied.

  • Genomic prediction models for grain yield of spring bread wheat in diverse agro-ecological zones
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2016) Saint Pierre, C.; Burgueño, J.; Fuentes Dávila, G.; Figueroa, P.; Solís Moya, E.; Ireta Moreno, J.; Hernández Muela, V.M.; Zamora Villa, V.; Vikram, P.; Mathews, K.L.; Sansaloni, C.; Sehgal, D.; Jarquin, D.; Wenzl, P.; Singh, S.; Crossa, J.
    Genomic and pedigree predictions for grain yield and agronomic traits were carried out using high density molecular data on a set of 803 spring wheat lines that were evaluated in 5 sites characterized by several environmental co-variables. Seven statistical models were tested using two random cross-validations schemes. Two other prediction problems were studied, namely predicting the lines’ performance at one site with another (pairwise-site) and at untested sites (leave-one-site-out). Grain yield ranged from 3.7 to 9.0 t ha−1 across sites. The best predictability was observed when genotypic and pedigree data were included in the models and their interaction with sites and the environmental co-variables. The leave-one-site-out increased average prediction accuracy over pairwise-site for all the traits, specifically from 0.27 to 0.36 for grain yield. Days to anthesis, maturity, and plant height predictions had high heritability and gave the highest accuracy for prediction models. Genomic and pedigree models coupled with environmental co-variables gave high prediction accuracy due to high genetic correlation between sites. This study provides an example of model prediction considering climate data along-with genomic and pedigree information. Such comprehensive models can be used to achieve rapid enhancement of wheat yield enhancement in current and future climate change scenario.

  • Genomic prediction of gene bank wheat landraces
    (Genetics Society of America, 2016) Crossa, J.; Jarquin, D.; Franco, J.; Pérez-Rodríguez, P.; Burgueño, J.; Saint Pierre, C.; Vikram, P.; Sansaloni, C.; Petroli, C.; Akdemir, D.; Sneller, C.; Reynolds, M.P.; Tattaris, M.; Payne, T.S.; Guzman, C.; Peña, R.; Wenzl, P.; Singh, S.
    This study examines genomic prediction within 8416 Mexican landrace accessions and 2403 Iranian landrace accessions stored in gene banks. The Mexican and Iranian collections were evaluated in separate field trials, including an optimum environment for several traits, and in two separate environments (drought, D and heat, H) for the highly heritable traits, days to heading (DTH) and days to maturity (DTM). Analyses accounting and not accounting for population structure were performed. Genomic prediction models include genotype × environment interaction (G×E). Two alternative prediction strategies were studied: (1) random cross-validation of the data in 20% training (TRN) and 80% testing (TST) (TRN20-TST80) sets, and (2) two types of core sets, “diversity” and “prediction”, including 10% and 20%, respectively, of the total collections were formed. Accounting for population structure decreased prediction accuracy by 15%-20% as compared to prediction accuracy obtained when not accounting for population structure. Accounting for population structure gave prediction accuracies for traits evaluated in one environment for TRN20-TST80 that ranged from 0.407 to 0.677 for Mexican landraces and from 0.166 to 0.662 for Iranian landraces. Prediction accuracy of the 20% diversity core set was similar to accuracies obtained for TRN20-TST80, ranging from 0.412 to 0.654 for Mexican landraces and from 0.182 to 0.647 for Iranian landraces. The predictive core set gave similar prediction accuracy as the diversity core set for Mexican collections but slightly lower for Iranian collections. Prediction accuracy when incorporating G×E for DTH and DTM for Mexican landraces for TRN20-TST80 was around 0.60, which is greater than without the G×E term. For Iranian landraces, accuracies were 0.55 for the G×E model with TRN20-TST80. Results show promising prediction accuracies for potential use in germplasm enhancement and rapid introgression of exotic germplasm into elite materials.

  • IBFIELDBOOK, an integrated breeding field book for plant breeding
    (Sociedad Mexicana de Fitogenética, 2013) Lugo Espinosa, O.; Sanchez-Gutierrez, T.M.; Camarena-Sagredo, J.G.; Vargas Hernández, M.; Alvarado Beltrán, G.; Jarquin, D.; Burgueño, J.; Crossa, J.; Sanchez-Villeda, H.
    The development of an integrated breeding field book (IBFieldbook) for different crops involves the generation, handling and analysis of large amounts of data. Managing the integration of environmental, pedigree, and phenotypic information for plant breeding data analyses requires appropriate and successful software that facilitates breeders, technicians, and researchers management of the vast collected field information in an easy, efficient and interactive way. Users may also need methods to exchange information with different devices used to record information in the field. Additionally, collected information needs to be analyzed inside or outside the application, and then generate reports for germplasm improvement.
