Comparative Evaluation of Pedigree-Based and Genomic BLUP Models for Wheat Grain Yield Prediction
Abstract: Before genome-wide molecular markers became affordable, plant and animal breeding relied on pedigree-based prediction (P-BLUP), using the expected additive relationship matrix (A) derived from recorded ancestry. Genomic selection replaced or augmented this with a marker-derived genomic relationship matrix (G; GBLUP), and single-step methods combining A and G are now standard when only a subset of a breeding population is genotyped. It is less clear whether pedigree information retains any predictive …
