Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Mean genomic prediction accuracy was high for plant height in sorghum hybrids.
- Method / resource Mean genomic prediction accuracy was moderate for grain yield, anthracnose resistance and days to anthesis.
- Method / resource Mean genomic prediction accuracy was moderate for test weight.
- Method / resource Removing hybrids predicted above a height threshold and with unacceptable anthracnose resistance retained 514 hybrids with significantly higher observed grain yield than the mean yield of 381 discarded hybrids.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that the tandem genomic selection scheme can advance regional adaptation of fertility pools for sorghum hybrid development in the eastern United States.
