Article Synopsis
- The study focused on using pedigree-based best linear unbiased prediction (P-BLUP) to analyze genetic parameters and breeding values for six important traits in white Guinea yam (Poir.) breeding populations.
- Results indicated significant nonadditive genetic variances and broad-sense heritability estimates between .45 and .79, suggesting that the selection of superior breeding lines can be effectively done using a multi-trait selection index.
- The analysis identified 13 clones with high genetic potential for improving traits, achieving positive genetic gains in tuber yield and weight, but negative results for tuber dry matter content and resistance compared to standard varieties.
