Genomic selection (GS) for crop improvement makes use of genome-wide molecular marker information available in more and more species. The aim is to enable accurate prediction of breeding values for target traits of a quantitative nature by determining the effect on phenotype of all the markers simultaneously. GS has proven its usefulness in animal breeding programmes, but its impact in plant breeding is only just emerging. GS can potentially increase the speed of the breeding cycle, reduce the cost and effort of phenotyping, and achieve faster selection of candidates for crossing programmes and production of synthetic varieties. Phenotypic predictions are based on models developed in a training population for which both phenotypic and genot...
