Jatropha half-sib family selection with high adaptability and genotypic stability.

ABSTRACT: Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) has become one of the most important species for producing biofuels. Currently, Genotype x Environment (GxE) interaction is the biggest challenge that breeders should solve to increase the section accuracy in the plant breeding. Therefore, the objectives in this study were to estimate the parameters in the 180 half-sib families in Jatropha evaluated for five production years, to verify the significance of the GxE interaction variance, to evaluate the adaptability and stability for each family based on three prediction methods, to select superior half-sib families based on the adaptability and stability analyses, and to predict the accuracy for the sixth production year. Jatropha half-sib families were classified and selected using the follow adaptability and stability methods: linear regression, bi-segmented linear regression and mixed models concepts called harmonic mean of the relative performance of genetic values (HMRPGV). The prediction accuracy was estimated by the Pearson correlation between the predicted genetic values by adaptability and stability methods and the phenotypic value in the sixth production year. In result, most half-sib families were classified as general adaptability and general stability for the evaluated traits. The selection gain obtained via HMRPGV was higher than other methods. The prediction accuracy for the sixth production year was 0.45. Therefore, HMRPGV is efficient to maximize the genetic gain, and it can be a useful strategy to select genotype with high adaptability and stability in Jatropha breeding as well as other species that should be evaluated for many years to take a suitable selection accuracy.

Project description:Key messageGenomic prediction of GCA effects based on model training with full-sib rather than half-sib families yields higher short- and long-term selection gain in reciprocal recurrent genomic selection for hybrid breeding, if SCA effects are important. Reciprocal recurrent genomic selection (RRGS) is a powerful tool for ensuring sustainable selection progress in hybrid breeding. For training the statistical model, one can use half-sib (HS) or full-sib (FS) families produced by inter-population crosses of candidates from the two parent populations. Our objective was to compare HS-RRGS and FS-RRGS for the cumulative selection gain ([Formula: see text]), the genetic, GCA and SCA variances ([Formula: see text],[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) of the hybrid population, and prediction accuracy ([Formula: see text]) for GCA effects across cycles. Using SNP data from maize and wheat, we simulated RRGS programs over 10 cycles, each consisting of four sub-cycles with genomic selection of [Formula: see text] out of 950 candidates in each parent population. Scenarios differed for heritability [Formula: see text] and the proportion [Formula: see text] of traits, training set (TS) size ([Formula: see text]), and maize vs. wheat. Curves of [Formula: see text] over selection cycles showed no crossing of both methods. If [Formula: see text] was high, [Formula: see text] was generally higher for FS-RRGS than HS-RRGS due to higher [Formula: see text]. In contrast, HS-RRGS was superior or on par with FS-RRGS, if [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were low. [Formula: see text] showed a steeper increase and higher selection limit for scenarios with low [Formula: see text], high [Formula: see text] and large [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] and even more so [Formula: see text] decreased rapidly over cycles for both methods due to the high selection intensity and the role of the Bulmer effect for reducing [Formula: see text]. Since the TS for FS-RRGS can additionally be used for hybrid prediction, we recommend this method for achieving simultaneously the two major goals in hybrid breeding: population improvement and cultivar development.
