Machine learning solutions for integrating partially overlapping genetic datasets and modelling host–endophyte effects in ryegrass (Lolium) dry matter yield estimation by Jiashuai Zhu, Jiashuai Zhu, M. Michelle Malmberg, Maiko Shinozuka, Renata M. Retegan, Noel O. Cogan, Noel O. Cogan, Joe L. Jacobs, Joe L. Jacobs, Khageswor Giri, Kevin F. Smith, Kevin F. Smith

“…To address these challenges: (1) we implemented a population genotyping approach to capture the genetic diversity in ryegrass base cultivars; (2) we introduced a machine learning-based strategy to integrate genetic distance matrices (GDMs) from incompatible genotyping approaches, including alignments using multidimensional scaling (MDS) and Procrustes transformation, as well as a novel evaluation strategy (BESMI) for the imputation of structural missing data. Endophytes complicate genetic evaluation by introducing additional variation in phenotypic expression. (3) We modelled the impacts of nine commercial endophytes on ryegrass DMY, enabling a more balanced estimation of untested cultivar–endophyte combinations. (4) Phylogenetic analysis provided a pseudo-pedigree relationship of the 113 ryegrass populations and revealed its associations with DMY variations. …”
