Figure 2.
Average annual genetic trend for the breeding goal1 under genomic and pBLUP scenarios, based on the additional annual cost compared to the reference scheme2. The results are averages of the 100 replicates; 1 Breeding goal = Breeding Value for trait 1 + Breeding Value for trait 2 (Figure a) or Breeding Value for trait 1 + Breeding Value for trait 2 (Figure b); 2 three levels of genotyping and phenotyping costs were considered: GE_LowGC, GE_MedGC and GE_HighGC = genomic breeding scheme under low, medium and high genotyping costs hypothesis, respectively; BL_LowTC, BL_MedTC and BL_HighTC = pBLUP breeding scheme under low, medium and high testing station costs hypothesis, respectively.
