Genomic prediction is a powerful strategy in fruit tree breeding, as it enables breeders to select fruit trees with desired traits at the seedling stage. In this study, researchers revealed that combining datasets obtained using different genotyping systems is a viable approach to increase the accuracy of genomic predictions. Moreover, they found that considering the effects of inbreeding in these models can further increase accuracy. In this figure, Brix and Degree of Mealiness are important fruit traits in apples.
