Prior Biological Knowledge Improves Genomic Prediction of Growth-Related Traits in Arabidopsis thaliana

Prediction of growth-related complex traits is highly important for crop breeding. Photosynthesis efficiency and biomass are direct indicators of overall plant performance and therefore even minor improvements in these traits can result in significant breeding gains. Crop breeding for complex traits...
