We developed a simulation study to test the efficiency of genomic selection (GS) in the case of Eucalyptus breeding. We simulated a recurrent selection scheme for clone production over four breeding cycles. Scenarios crossing broad sense heritabilities (H2 = 0.6 and 0.1) and dominance to additive variance ratios (R = 0.1; 0.5; and 1) were compared. GS was performed with 1,000 SNPs and 22 QTLs per...
More efficient methods are required to breed oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) for yield maximization in order to meet the increased demand for palm oil while limiting environmental impacts. This review article analyzes the evolution of breeding schemes for oil palm yield and its quantative components and the changes expected to take place with genomic selection (GS). Genetic improvement of oil palm...
