Fig 5. Comparison of prediction accuracy of GP and heritability in growth-related traits.

Estimated correlation coefficients of observed values and values predicted using the five models for seven growth-related traits are shown as bars. The five models included four methods of whole-genome prediction (for all traits) and a DVR model with marker genotypes of the heading-date–related genes (for heading dates). The square roots of heritability of the seven traits are shown as crosses. Error bars represent ± 1 s.d.
