An experimental validation of genomic selection in octoploid strawberry

“…It should also be a promising strategy in polyploids, although their complex genetic structure has delayed the availability of whole genome markers and of specific analytic tools for, e.g. SNP calling (Slater et al, 2016;Gezan et al, 2017;Bourke et al, 2018). A few studies have demonstrated the potential advantages of GS in allo and autopolyploids (Gezan et al, 2017;Enciso-Rodriguez et al, 2018;Nyine et al, 2018;Amadeu et al, 2019;de Bem Oliveira et al, 2019;Juliana et al, 2019;Zingaretti et al, 2019), although its implementation is still in its infancy.…”
