- Multivariate bayesian analysis of on-farm trials with multiple-trait and multiple-environment data(American Society of Agronomy, 2019) Montesinos-Lopez, O.A.; Montesinos-López, A.; Vargas Hernández, M.; Ortiz-Monasterio, I.; Pérez-Rodríguez, P.; Burgueño, J.; Crossa, J.
Publication - Bayesian genomic prediction with genotype x environment interaction kernel models(Genetics Society of America, 2017) Cuevas, J.; Crossa, J.; Montesinos-Lopez, O.A.; Burgueño, J.; Pérez-Rodríguez, P.; De Los Campos, G.The phenomenon of genotype · environment (G · E) interaction in plant breeding decreases selection accuracy, thereby negatively affecting genetic gains. Several genomic prediction models incorporating G · E have been recently developed and used in genomic selection of plant breeding programs. Genomic prediction models for assessing multi-environment G · E interaction are extensions of a singleenvironment model, and have advantages and limitations. In this study, we propose two multi-environment Bayesian genomic models: the first model considers genetic effects ðuÞ that can be assessed by the Kronecker product of variance–covariance matrices of genetic correlations between environments and genomic kernels through markers under two linear kernel methods, linear (genomic best linear unbiased predictors, GBLUP) and Gaussian (Gaussian kernel, GK). The other model has the same genetic component as the first model ðuÞ plus an extra component, f, that captures random effects between environments that were not captured by the random effects u: We used five CIMMYT data sets (one maize and four wheat) that were previously used in different studies. Results show that models with G · E always have superior prediction ability than single-environment models, and the higher prediction ability of multi-environment models with u and f over the multi-environment model with only u occurred 85% of the time with GBLUP and 45% of the time with GK across the five data sets. The latter result indicated that including the random effect f is still beneficial for increasing prediction ability after adjusting by the random effect u.
Publication - Genomic prediction in CIMMYT maize and wheat breeding programs(Springer Nature, 2014) Crossa, J.; Pérez-Rodríguez, P.; Hickey, J.; Burgueño, J.; Ornella, L.; Cerón-Rojas, J.J.; Xuecai Zhang; Dreisigacker, S.; Babu, R.; Li, Y.; Bonnett, D.; Mathews, K.L.Genomic selection (GS) has been implemented in animal and plant species, and is regarded as a useful tool for accelerating genetic gains. Varying levels of genomic prediction accuracy have been obtained in plants, depending on the prediction problem assessed and on several other factors, such as trait heritability, the relationship between the individuals to be predicted and those used to train the models for prediction, number of markers, sample size and genotype_environment interaction (GE). The main objective of this article is to describe the results of genomic prediction in International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center's (CIMMYT's) maize and wheat breeding programs, from the initial assessment of the predictive ability of different models using pedigree and marker information to the present, when methods for implementing GS in practical global maize and wheat breeding programs are being studied and investigated. Results show that pedigree (population structure) accounts for a sizeable proportion of the prediction accuracy when a global population is the prediction problem to be assessed. However, when the prediction uses unrelated populations to train the prediction equations, prediction accuracy becomes negligible. When genomic prediction includes modeling GE, an increase in prediction accuracy can be achieved by borrowing information from correlated environments. Several questions on how to incorporate GS into CIMMYT's maize and wheat programs remain unanswered and subject to further investigation, for example, prediction within and between related biparental crosses. Further research on the quantification of breeding value components for GS in plant breeding populations is required.
