Genomic selection strategies for clonally propagated crops.

ABSTRACT:

Key message

For genomic selection in clonally propagated crops with diploid (-like) meiotic behavior to be effective, crossing parents should be selected based on genomic predicted cross-performance unless dominance is negligible. For genomic selection (GS) in clonal breeding programs to be effective, parents should be selected based on genomic predicted cross-performance unless dominance is negligible. Genomic prediction of cross-performance enables efficient exploitation of the additive and dominance value simultaneously. Here, we compared different GS strategies for clonally propagated crops with diploid (-like) meiotic behavior, using strawberry as an example. We used stochastic simulation to evaluate six combinations of three breeding programs and two parent selection methods.
