Metabolic marker-assisted genomic prediction improves hybrid breeding by Xu, Yang, Yang, Wenyan, Qiu, Jie, Zhou, Kai, Yu, Guangning, Zhang, Yuxiang, Wang, Xin, Jiao, Yuxin, Wang, Xinyi, Hu, Shujun, Zhang, Xuecai, Pengcheng Li, Lu, Yue, Chen, Rujia, Tao, Tianyun, Yang, Zefeng, Xu, Yunbi, Xu, Chenwu

“…However, the use of preselected metabolic markers from parental lines to predict hybrid performance has not yet been explored. In this study, we developed a novel approach called metabolic marker-assisted genomic prediction (MM_GP), which incorporates significant metabolites identified from MWAS into GS models to improve the accuracy of genomic hybrid prediction. …”

Genomics-Assisted Breeding in the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) by Friedmann, Michael, Asfaw, Asrat, Anglin, Noelle L., Becerra López Lavelle, Luis Augusto, Bhattacharjee, Ranjana, Brown, Allan, Carey, Edward, Ferguson, Morag E., Gemenet, Dorcus C., Lindqvist-Kreuze, H., Rabbi, Ismail Y., Rouard, Mathieu, Swennen, Rony L., Thiele, Graham

“…Therefore, across the RTB program, genomic resources and approaches, including sequenced draft genomes, SNP discovery, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and genomic selection (GS), are at different stages of development and implementation. For some crops, marker-assisted selection (MAS) is being implemented, and GS has passed the proof-of-concept stage. …”
