Genomic selection and genetic gain for nut yield in an Australian macadamia breeding population. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2021 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.

Estimating genetic gains for tolerance to stress combinations in tropical maize hybrids
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Maize is a strategic food crop in sub-Saharan Africa. However, most maize growing tropical savannas particularly in West and Central African experience the occurrence of frequent droughts and Striga infestation, resulting in 30–100% yield losses.

Genetic yield gains of winter wheat in Germany over more than 100 years (1895–2007) under contrasting fertilizer applications [PDF]
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 For highly productive regions such as Germany, the increase of wheat grain yields observed throughout the 20th century is largely attributed to the progress in crop breeding and agronomic management. However, several studies indicate a strong variability

Strategies Using Genomic Selection to Increase Genetic Gain in Breeding Programs for Wheat. [PDF]
Front Genet, 2020 Conventional wheat-breeding programs involve crossing parental lines and subsequent selfing of the offspring for several generations to obtain inbred lines. Such a breeding program takes more than 8 years to develop a variety.

Expected Genetic Contributions and Their Impact on Gene Flow and Genetic Gain [PDF]
Genetics, 1999 Abstract Long-term genetic contributions (ri) measure lasting gene flow from an individual i. By accounting for linkage disequilibrium generated by selection both within and between breeding groups (categories), assuming the infinitesimal model, a general formula was derived for the expected contribution of ancestor i in category q (μi(q)
