Using variable importance measures to identify a small set of SNPs to predict heading date in perennial ryegrass
Abstract Prior knowledge on heading date enables the selection of parents of synthetic cultivars that are well matched with respect to time of heading, which is essential to ensure plants put together will cross pollinate. Heading date of individual plants can be determined via direct phenotyping, w...
