Abstract

The importance of accurate genomic prediction of phenotypes in plant breeding is undeniable, as higher prediction accuracy can increase selection responses. In this study, we investigated the ability of three models to improve prediction accuracy by including phenotypic information from the last growing season. This was done by considering a single biological trait in two growing seasons (2017 and 2018) as separate traits in a multi-trait model. Thus, bivariate variants of the Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (GBLUP) as an additive model, Epistatic Random Regression BLUP (ERRBLUP) and selective Epistatic Random Regression BLUP (sERRBLUP) as epistasis models were compared with respect to their prediction accuracies for the second year. The results indicate that bivariate ERRBLUP is slightly superior to bivariate GBLUP in predication accuracy, while bivariate sERRBLUP has the highest prediction accuracy in most cases. The average relative increase in prediction accuracy from bivariate GBLUP to maximum bivariate sERRBLUP across eight phenotypic traits and studied dataset from 471/402 doubled haploid lines in the European maize landrace Kemater Landmais Gelb/Petkuser Ferdinand Rot, were 7.61 and 3.47 percent, respectively. We further investigated the genomic correlation, phenotypic correlation and trait heritability as the factors affecting the bivariate model’s predication accuracy, with genetic correlation between growing seasons being the most important one. For all three considered model architectures results were far worse when using a univariate version of the model, e.g. with an average reduction in prediction accuracy of 0.23/0.14 for Kemater/Petkuser when using univariate GBLUP.

Key Massage Bivariate models based on selected subsets of pairwise SNP interactions can increase the prediction accuracy by utilizing phenotypic data across years under the assumption of high genomic correlation across years.
