Leveraging environmental data and dominance effects in genomic prediction may accelerate genetic gain in hybrid sunflower

Abstract Genomic prediction improves the efficiency of plant breeding by allowing the performance of a new, untested genotype to be predicted without conducting field trials. There is a dearth of knowledge on best practices for performing genomic prediction in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), a hybrid crop. Our object...
