The paper analyzes historic wheat trials to show how vrn1 and Ppd1 alleles affect yield through environmental interactions, finding that vrn1 effects are more variable than Ppd1 effects.

This study compares genetic gain in recurrent selection with overlapping vs. discrete generations across different selection methods and heritability levels using simulations.

This study evaluates aerial high-throughput phenotyping for indirect selection of grain yield in wheat breeding programs, finding vegetation indices predictive of yield and more effective than visual selection.

This study evaluates methods for estimating genetic gain in rice breeding programs and finds they have limited accuracy in ranking programs.

This study uses hyperspectral reflectance-derived relationship matrices in genomic selection to predict grain yield in wheat, showing improved accuracy when combined with marker and pedigree data.
