The BLUP method in evaluation of breeding values of Russian spring wheat lines using micro- and macroelements in seeds by N. A. Potapova, A. S. Zlobin, I. N. Leonova, E. A. Salina, Y. A. Tsepilov

“…In this work, the BLUP method was used to assess the breeding value of 149 Russian varieties and introgression lines (4 measurements for each variety or line, 596 phenotypic points) of spring wheat according to the content of seven chemical elements in the grain – K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu. The quality of the evaluation of breeding values was assessed using cross-validation, when the sample was randomly divided into five parts, one of which was chosen as a test population. …”
