Abstract:Genomic selection (GS) is being increasingly employed in plant breeding programs to accelerate genetic gain of economically important traits. However, its efficiency differs greatly across species, due to differences in reproduction and breeding strategies. Onion (
Allium cepa
L.) is an out-crossing crop but can be easily self-pollinated. High inbreeding depression occurs, and contamination of self-pollinated seeds is unavoidable in onion breeding. Taking this into consideration, 10-year… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
