Simulated development of total biomass and grain yield.
The early, intermediate and late maturing genotypes had a total leaf number (TLN) of 6, 14.5 and 23, respectively. The values for the other three traits were 750 for AM, 1.6 for SRE and 1150 for MTU and in common for all genotypes. The full and dotted vertical lines indicate the end of the 2012 and 2013 growing season, respectively.

Predicted vs. observed grain yield of 1500 DH lines in testing set for prediction methods CGM-WGP (top row) and GBLUP (bottom row).
The estimation environment was 2012. Results shown are from a representative example data set. In this example, the accuracy for observed environment predictions was 0.83 (CGM-WGP) and 0.69 (GBLUP). For new environment predictions it was 0.39 (CGM-WGP) and 0.11 (GBLUP).
