Genomic prediction of single cross families of perennial ryegrass in two nitrogen managements

This study predicts single cross performance in perennial ryegrass using genomic models, finding high predictive accuracy for dry matter yield and nutritive quality traits.

Genetic architecture of inter-specific and -generic grass hybrids by network analysis on multi-omics data

This study uses multi-omics data from grass hybrids to identify gene and metabolite networks associated with agronomic traits, finding conserved hubs but limited predictive power of network features.

Leveraging spatio-temporal genomic breeding value estimates of dry matter yield and herbage quality in ryegrass via random regression models

This study uses random regression models to analyze spatio-temporal genomic data in ryegrass, finding improved prediction accuracy for nutritive quality traits but not dry matter yield.

Effects of Different Strategies for Exploiting Genomic Selection in Perennial Ryegrass Breeding Programs

This study compares genetic gain and accuracy of genomic selection (GS) versus phenotypic selection in perennial ryegrass breeding programs, finding GS achieves significantly higher genetic gain.
