TL;DR: A strategy for implementing genomic selection in plant breeding programs for developing inbred lines that reorganizes traditional breeding programs into two distinct components is proposed, indicating that the two-part strategy is a cost-effective strategy.

TL;DR: The results of this study emphasise the importance of the training panel design in relation to the genetic material to which the resulting prediction model is to be applied, and the design of training sets is in turn central to achieving sufficient levels of accuracy.

TL;DR: A pedigree resource of 2,657 wheat genotypes originating from 38 countries, representing more than a century of breeding and variety development is presented, highlighting the benefits of generating detailed pedigree resources for crop species.

TL;DR: AirMeasurer as discussed by the authors is an open source and expandable platform that combines automated image analysis, machine learning and original algorithms to perform trait analysis using 2D/3D aerial imagery acquired by low-cost UAVs in rice trials.

TL;DR: Small numbers of close relatives and very large numbers of distant relatives are expected to enable accurate predictions of genomic selection in crops, and the results emphasize the importance of the training set design in relation to the genetic material to which the resulting prediction model is to be applied.
