Genomic prediction in hybrid breeding: I. Optimizing the training set design
Genomic prediction in hybrid breeding: I. Optimizing the training set design
Abstract (English)
Genomic prediction holds great promise for hybrid breeding but optimum composition of the training set (TS) as determined by the number of parents (nTS) and crosses per parent (c) has received little attention. Our objective was to examine prediction accuracy (ra) of GCA for lines used as parents of the TS (I1 lines) or not (I0 lines), and H0, H1 and H2 hybrids, comprising crosses of type I0 × I0, I1 × I0 and I1 × I1, respectively, as function of nTS and c. In the theory, we developed estimates for ra of GBLUPs for hybrids: (i)r^a based on the expected prediction accuracy, and (ii) r~a based on ra of GBLUPs of GCA and SCA effects. In the simulation part, hybrid populations were generated using molecular data from two experimental maize data sets. Additive and dominance effects of QTL borrowed from literature were used to simulate six scenarios of traits differing in the proportion (τSCA = 1%, 6%, 22%) of SCA variance in σG2 and heritability (h2 = 0.4, 0.8). Values of r~a and r^a closely agreed with ra for hybrids. For given size NTS = nTS × c of TS, ra of H0 hybrids and GCA of I0 lines was highest for c = 1. Conversely, for GCA of I1 lines and H1 and H2 hybrids, c = 1 yielded lowest ra with concordant results across all scenarios for both data sets. In view of these opposite trends, the optimum choice of c for maximizing selection response across all types of hybrids depends on the size and resources of the breeding program.
