Relevance of Additive and Nonadditive Genetic Relatedness for Genomic Prediction in Rice Population under Recurrent Selection Breeding
Authors: Odilon P. Morais J�ºnior, Jo�£o Batista Duarte, Fl�¡vio Breseghello, Alexandre S. G. Coelho, Tereza C. O. Borba, Jordene T. Aguiar, P�©ricles C. F. Neves, and Orlando P. Morais
In genomic recurrent selection programs of self-pollinated crops, additive genetic effects (breeding values) are effectively relevant for selection of superior progenies as new parents. However, considering additive and nonadditive genetic effects can improve the prediction of genome-enhanced breeding values (GEBV) of progenie.. Read More»
