CASSAVA BREEDING I: THE VALUE OF BREEDING VALUE [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Breeding cassava relies on several selection stages (single row trial-SRT; preliminary; advanced; and uniform yield trials - UYT). This study uses data from 14 years of evaluations. From more than 20,000 genotypes initially evaluated only 114 reached the

Improving Breeding Value Reliability with Genomic Data in Breeding Groups of Charolais. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2023 The aim of this study was to assess the impact of incorporating genomic data using the single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP) method compared to the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) method on the reliability of breeding values for age at first calving, calving interval, and productive longevity at 78 months in Charolais ...

Across-countries genomic prediction using national breeding values or multitrait across-countries evaluation breeding values [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2022 In across-country genomic predictions for dairy cattle, 2 kinds of bull information can be used as dependent variables. The first is estimated breeding value (EBV) from the national genetic evaluations, assuming genetic correlations between countries are less than 1. The second is EBV from multitrait across-countries evaluation (MACE), assuming genetic
