Genomic versus phenotypic selection to improve corn borer resistance and grain yield in maize

IntroductionThe study of yield and resistance/tolerance to pest are related traits fundamental for maize breeding programs. Genomic selection (GS), which uses all marker information to calculate genomic breeding values, is presented as an emerging alternative to phenotypic and marker-assisted select...
