Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource Nonadditive models predicted about 10% better than other models in cross-validation within cassava populations.
- Intervention effect Combining data from another related population increased the prediction of cassava mosaic disease by up to 57% in one Nigerian population.
- Association Prediction accuracy across generations was poorer than within-generation accuracy.
- Observation Accuracy for dry matter content and mosaic disease severity should be sufficient for rapid-cycling genomic selection.
- Intervention effect Increasing the training population size mattered more for accuracy across generations than the choice of prediction model.
- Intervention effect With a genetic algorithm, selecting one-third of progeny for phenotyping gave accuracy equivalent to phenotyping all progeny.
- Recommendation The authors recommend growing training populations while phenotyping only a carefully selected subset of individuals.
