During the last decades, implementation of molecular markers such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has transformed plant breeding practices from conventional phenotypic selection to marker-assisted selection (MAS) and genomic selection (GS) that are more precise, faster and less resource-consuming. In this dissertation, we investigated these three selection approaches for improving the polygenic trait Gibberella ear rot (GER) resistance in maize (Zea mays L.), which is an important fungal disease in Europe and North America leading to reduced grain yield and grain contaminated with mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZON). Three different sets of materials were evaluated in multiple environments and analyzed f...
