Potential and limits of whole genome prediction of resistance to Fusarium head blight and Septoria tritici blotch in a vast Central European elite winter wheat population

Key message Fusarium head blight and Septoria tritici blotch resistances are complex traits and can be improved efficiently by genomic selection modeling main and epistatic effects. Enhancing the resistance against Fusarium head blight (FHB) and Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is of central importance...
