Relatively slow progress via phenotypic selection Large cost of phenotyping Limited throughput (plot area, time, people) FHB genetics (quantitative, small effects) Decreasing cost of genotyping USDA Genotyping Laboratories Promising results from simulation and cross validation of GS Implementing Genomic Selection

28 Summary Enhancing FHB resistance in barley is a good target for genomic selection approach. We can reduce breeding cycle to 1 year. Training populations of 500 or more and 384 markers should be sufficient to both increase gain per year and reduce overall cost of selection.
