Increasing selection gain and accuracy of harvest prediction models in Jatropha through genome-wide selection

Abstract Genome-wide selection (GWS) has been becoming an essential tool in the genetic breeding of long-life species, as it increases the gain per time unit. This study had a hypothesis that GWS is a tool that can decrease the breeding cycle in Jatropha. Our objective was to compare GWS with phenot...
