Yield gains and associated changes in an early yellow bi-parental maize population following genomic selection for Striga resistance and drought tolerance
(BioMed Central, 2019)
Background: Maize yield potential is rarely maximized in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to the devastating effects of drought stress and Striga hermonthica parasitism. This study was conducted to determine the gains in grain ...

Effect of trait heritability, training population size and marker density on genomic prediction accuracy estimation in 22 bi-parental tropical maize populations
(Frontiers, 2017)
Genomic selection is being used increasingly in plant breeding to accelerate genetic gain per unit time. One of the most important applications of genomic selection in maize breeding is to predict and select the best ...

Initiating maize pre-breeding programs using genomic selection to harness polygenic variation from landrace populations
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background: The limited genetic diversity of elite maize germplasms raises concerns about the potential to breed for new challenges. Initiatives have been formed over the years to identify and utilize useful diversity from ...

High-throughput phenotyping enabled genetic dissection of crop lodging in wheat
(Frontiers, 2019)
Novel high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) approaches are needed to advance the understanding of genotype-to-phenotype and accelerate plant breeding. The first generation of HTP has examined simple spectral reflectance traits ...
