Combining genomic prediction and multi-trait indices through stochastic simulations: do index type and deployment order affect genetic gain?

Genomic selection (GS) has transformed plant breeding by enabling early selection and potentially reducing cycle length, but how to integrate GS with classical multi-trait selection indices remains unclear. We used stochastic simulations to compare seven strategies combining Smith–Hazel (SH), Pesek–Baker (PB), and empi...
