Genomic prediction by modelling genotype by environment interaction for yield in groundnut

Nelson Lubanga, Velma Okaron, Davis M. Gimode, Reyna Persa, James Kyalo Mwololo, David Kalule Okello, Mildred Ochwo‐Ssemakula, Thomas Lapaka Odong, Damaris A. Odeny, Diego Jarquín

This paper evaluates genomic prediction models for groundnut yield traits across environments, finding that incorporating genotype-by-environment interaction improves predictive ability in some cross-validation schemes.

Modelling illustrates that genomic selection provides new opportunities for intercrop breeding

Jon Bančič, Christian R. Werner, R. Chris Gaynor, Gregor Gorjanc, Damaris A. Odeny, Henry Fred Ojulong, Ian K. Dawson, Stephen P. Hoad, John M. Hickey

This paper shows genomic selection in intercrop breeding programs leads to greater genetic gain than phenotypic selection, regardless of genetic correlation with monocrop yield.
