Genomic Selection for Grain Yield in the CIMMYT Wheat Breeding Program—Status and Perspectives

Genomic breeding technologies offer new opportunities for grain yield (GY) improvement in common wheat. In this study, we have evaluated the potential of genomic selection (GS) in breeding for GY in wheat by modeling a large dataset of 48,562 GY observations from the International Maize and Wheat Im...
