Genomic selection for productive traits in biparental cassava breeding populations.

Cassava improvement using traditional breeding strategies is slow due to the species' long breeding cycle. However, the use of genomic selection can lead to a shorter breeding cycle. This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters for productive traits based on pedigree (pedigree and phenotypic...
