A flower strip is established along the edge of a field. A wetland is restored. More seminatural habitats are created. The expectation is simple: give nature more space, and biodiversity will increase. But reality is often not so simple.
The rapid increase in the availability of genomic data has transformed plant breeding by enabling the prediction of complex traits directly from DNA markers. Genomic prediction provides a means to accelerate selection decisions, reduce phenotyping costs and shorten breeding cycles. Despite its promise, the practical implementation of genomic prediction remains challenging because prediction accuracy varies across datasets, populations and traits. Researchers must often evaluate multiple statistical and machine-learning approaches to identify the most suitable model, requiring substantial expertise and computational effort.
