摘要: Corn is one of the world’s most important cereals and a major source calories for humanity, along with rice wheat. Climate change use marginal land crop production require development genotypes adapted to stressful environments, particularly drought tolerant plants. Among new technologies currently available accelerate releasing there an emerging discipline called Machine Learning (ML). A primary goal ML algorithms automatically learn recognize complex patterns make intelligent decisions based on data. This work reviews several strategic applications in maize breeding. Quantitative trait loci mapping, heterotic group assignment popular genome-wide selection are some key areas addressed by literature. Results encouraging propose as valuable alternative traditional statistical techniques applied maize, even more recently introduced linear mixed models.
