Book Chapter
Chapter 8. Linear molecular and genomic eigen selection index methods
(Springer, 2018)
The three main linear phenotypic eigen selection index methods are the eigen selection index method (ESIM), the restricted ESIM (RESIM) and the predetermined proportional gain ESIM (PPG-ESIM). The ESIM is an unrestricted ...
Book Chapter
Chapter 4. Linear marker and genome-wide selection indices
(Springer, 2018)
There are two main linear marker selection indices employed in marker-assisted selection (MAS) to predict the net genetic merit and to select individual candidates as parents for the next generation: the linear marker ...
Book Chapter
Chapter 9. Multistage linear selection indices
(Springer, 2018)
Multistage linear selection indices select individual traits available at different times or stages and are applied mainly in animals and tree breeding, where the traits under consideration become evident at different ages. ...
Book Chapter
Chapter 6. Constrained linear genomic selection indices
(Springer, 2018)
The constrained linear genomic selection indices are null restricted and predetermined proportional gain linear genomic selection indices (RLGSI and PPG-LGSI respectively), which are a linear combination of genomic estimated ...
Book Chapter
Chapter 5. Linear genomic selection indices
(Springer, 2018)
The linear genomic selection index (LGSI) is a linear combination of genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) used to predict the individual net genetic merit and select individual candidates from a nonphenotyped testing ...
Book Chapter
Chapter 6: Role and challenges of the private seed sector in developing and disseminating climate-smart crop varieties in Eastern and Southern Africa
(Springer, 2019)
To address climate change (CC) in eastern and southern Africa (ESA) will require accelerated development and dissemination of crop varieties with climate-smart (CS) traits over the coming decades. However, investment in ...
Book Chapter
Chapter 11. RIndSel: selection Indices with R
(Springer, 2018)
RIndSel is a graphical unit interface that uses selection index theory to select individual candidates as parents for the next selection cycle. The index can be a linear combination of phenotypic values, genomic estimated ...
Book Chapter
Chapter 10. Stochastic simulation of four linear phenotypic selection indices
(Springer, 2018)
Stochastic simulation can contribute to a better understanding of the problem, and has already been successfully applied to evaluate other breeding scenarios. Despite all the theories developed in this book concerning ...
