To increase wheat yield, breeders are using a method called genomic selection. This method predicts a plant's performance based on its genetic makeup, without needing to wait for it to grow. By focusing on key traits like yield and disease resistance, breeders can choose the best plants for breeding programs. To make this method more accurate, factors like marker density and trait heritability need to be considered. By fine-tuning these factors, breeders can successfully implement genomic selection in wheat breeding programs.
