1 Integration of Genomic Selection into the University of Florida Strawberry Breeding Program Luis F. Osorio, Salvador Gezan, Vance Whitaker, Sujeet Verma 8 th International Rosaceae Genomics Conference June 22,2016

2 Genomic Selection Process Training Population Genotyping & Phenotyping Candidate Population Genotyping Calculate GEBV Make Selections (From Heffner et al., (2009)

3 Objectives Explore different GS models for some of the most important traits Use true validation for prediction Define a breeding strategy that incorporates GS

6 Experimental Design and Plant Material Two trials per season (T1, ) - RCBD Replicated seedling trials (T1) ~ 80 fam & ~ 580 genotypes 3 replicates/gen Replicated advanced selection trials () 300 genotypes 5 replicates/gen

7 Phenotyping Measurements (per trial/season) Traits No. Units Marketable Yield (TMY) 15 grams Average Fruit Wt (AWT) 15 grams Total Culls (TC) 15 % Brix (SSC) 5 %

8 Genotyping Marker Quality Control 17,479 markers were used in GS Markers with MAF < 5% were removed 90K IStraw90 Axiom SNP array Affimetrix & RosBREED (Bassil and Davis et al. 2015) Markers with missing values > 5% were removed Missing marker data was imputed by using the average allele frequency

9 Individual mixed models : Statistical Analyses and GS Models To estimate variance components for heritability estimates (ASReml Gilmour et al 2009) Phenotypic response to be used in the GS analyses G-BLUP: assumes marker effects have similar variances (Genomatrix -Nazarian and Gezan 2016 and ASReml-R) Bayes B and Bayes C: markers have different variance effects (BGLR - Perez and de los Campos, 2014) Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS): captures some non-additive effects (BGLR - Perez and de los Campos, 2014)

16 Conclusions Bayes B showed better predictive ability than other models Predictive ability is linearly related to the heritability of the trait Prediction accuracy was high (>0.60) for all models and traits except for TC The efficiency of parental selection was moderate to high (> 45%) for all traits
