Expected benefit of genomic selection over forward selection in conifer breeding and deployment
Table 5
Genetic gain per generation obtained in the prediction population from GS with 60K SNP panel for different training population sizes (800, 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 clones) for traits with low (h2 = 0.2) and high (h2 = 0.5) heritabilities in the breeding population, compared with genetic gains obtained from FS.
