Agricultural production must increase at an unprecedented rate to meet the strong growth expected in food demand. Genomic selection (GS) could contribute to reaching this goal by allowing selection of individuals on their sole genotype, making breeding more efficient. Breeding for yield in oil palm, the first oil crop in the world, is currently based on hybrid production by reciprocal recurrent selection. The integration of GS to this scheme would have major repercussions. This thesis aims to assess the potential of GS to predict hybrid combining abilities in parental populations (Deli and group B). Data from the last breeding cycle were used to obtain the first empirical estimate of GS accuracy. Despite the small populations available to c...
