Genomic selection and genetic gain for nut yield in an Australian macadamia breeding population

Genomic selection and genetic gain for nut yield in an Australian macadamia breeding population

Abstract Background Improving yield prediction and selection efficiency is critical for tree breeding. This is vital for macadamia trees with the time from crossing to production of new cultivars being almost a quarter of a century. Genomic selection (GS) is a useful tool in plant breeding, particul...
