Image-based phenomic prediction can provide valuable decision support in wheat breeding.

ABSTRACT:

Key message

Genotype-by-environment interactions of secondary traits based on high-throughput field phenotyping are less complex than those of target traits, allowing for a phenomic selection in unreplicated early generation trials. Traditionally, breeders' selection decisions in early generations are largely based on visual observations in the field. With the advent of affordable genome sequencing and high-throughput phenotyping technologies, enhancing breeders' ratings with such information became attractive. In this research, it is hypothesized that G[Formula: see text]E interactions of secondary traits (i.e., growth dynamics' traits) are less complex than those of related target traits (e.g., yield). Thus, phenomic selection (PS) may allow selecting for genotypes with beneficia
