Assessment of genomic prediction and genetic gain in multi‑population half-sib families in the perennial grass crop intermediate wheatgrass

The University of Minnesota has been domesticating the perennial forage intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) since 2011 using a combination of conventional methods and modern breeding tools such as genomic selection. Globally, most IWG selection nurseries are spaced-planted individuals of several hundred genotypes whereas com...
