Assessment of the potential for genomic selection to improve resistance to fusarium stalk rot in maize.

ABSTRACT: Fusarium stalk rot (FSR), caused by Fusarium verticilliodes, is a serious disease in maize. Resistance to FSR is complexly inherited. Thus, an investigation was carried out to predict and validate the genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for FSR resistance. Three doubled haploid (DH) populations induced from F₁ and F₂ of the cross VL1043 × CM212 and F₂ of the cross VL121096 × CM202 were used in the current study. Six different parametric models (Genomic-Best Linear Unbiased Predictors (GBLUP), BayesA, BayesB, BayesC, Bayesian least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (BLASSO), and Bayesian Ridge Regression (BRR)) were employed to estimate the prediction accuracy. Further, the accuracy of predicted genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV) fo
