Table 2. Average prediction accuracy of MAS and three different approaches of genomic selection for heading time and plant height.

Method Heading time
Plant height
  Accuracy s.d. Accuracy s.d.
MAS-NCVa 0.526 0.444
MASb 0.535 0.091 0.378 0.101
RR-BLUPc 0.404 0.112 0.395 0.135
BayesCπc 0.442 0.114 0.422 0.125
W-BLUPc 0.576 0.110 0.502 0.115

Abbreviations: MAS, marker-assisted selection; RR-BLUP, ridge regression best linear unbiased prediction; NCV, non-cross-validation; W-BLUP weighted best linear unbiased prediction; s.d., standard deviation.

a

MAS-NCV indicates MAS prediction accuracy without cross-validation based on functional marker Ppd-D1 for heading time and functional markers Ppd-D1, Rht-B1 and Rht-D1 for plant height. As only one value is available, s.d. could not be determined.

b

MAS prediction accuracy according to cross-validation.

c

Genomic selection accuracies according to cross-validation for RR-BLUP, BayesCπ and W-BLUP based on 1280 markers plus the functional markers.
