Article Synopsis
- Genomic prediction in small breeding programs faces challenges due to high initial genotyping costs, which are often greater than field trial expenses.
- Using a narrow-base biparental oat population, this study shows that utilizing a smaller number of markers for early and later generations can effectively implement genomic prediction.
- By leveraging early generation genotyping, breeding programs can streamline the selection process, combining inexpensive dominant marker data with more costly codominant markers for better predictions across generations.
