Breeding Jatropha curcas by genomic selection: A pilot assessment of the accuracy of predictive models.

Genomic wide selection is a promising approach for improving the selection accuracy in plant breeding, particularly in species with long life cycles, such as Jatropha. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic parameters for grain yield (GY) and the weight of 100 seeds (W1...
