Genotype by environment interaction (G× E) refers to the comparative performances of
genotypes differing among environments, representing differences in genotype rankings or …

The rapid development of remote sensing in agronomic research allows the dynamic nature
of longitudinal traits to be adequately described, which may enhance the genetic …

We wrote this book to fill the gap between textbooks of quantitative genetic theory and
software manuals that provide details on analytical methods but little context or perspective …

Family trees have vast applications in fields as diverse as genetics, anthropology, and
economics. However, the collection of extended family trees is tedious and usually relies on …

In plant breeding, heritability is often calculated (i) as a measure of precision of trials and/or
(ii) to compute the response to selection. It is usually estimated on an entry-mean basis …

Genomics and phenomics have promised to revolutionize the field of plant breeding. The
integration of these two fields has just begun and is being driven through big data by …

The global livestock sector, particularly ruminants, contributes substantially to the total
anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Management and dietary solutions to reduce enteric …

Motivation The resemble between relatives computed from pedigree and genomic data is an
important resource for geneticists and ecologists, who are interested in understanding how …

Progress in the rate of improvement in autopolyploid species has been limited compared
with diploids, mainly because software and methods to apply advanced prediction and …

Key message We compare genomic selection methods that use correlated traits to help
predict biomass yield in sorghum, and find that trait-assisted genomic selection performs …
