Genomic Selection Using Pedigree and Marker-by-Environment Interaction for Barley Seed Quality Traits From Two Commercial Breeding Programs.

ABSTRACT: With the current advances in the development of low-cost high-density array-based DNA marker technologies, cereal breeding programs are increasingly relying on genomic selection as a tool to accelerate the rate of genetic gain in seed quality traits. Different sources of genetic information are being explored, with the most prevalent being combined additive information from marker and pedigree-based data, and their interaction with the environment. In this, there has been mixed evidence on the performance of use of these data. This study undertook an extensive analysis of 907 elite winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) lines across multiple environments from two breeding companies. Six genomic prediction models were evaluated to demonstrate the effect of using pedigree and marker infor
