Fig. 1. Mean genotypic value of the simulated fraction selected by adjusted line mean, best linear unbiased prediction considering environmental effects (BLUP[E]), best line unbiased prediction considering environmental effects and pedigree information (BLUP[E+A]), and best linear unbiased prediction considering environmental effects and genetic similarities (BLUP[E+GS]) for different heritabilities h2 ([a] h2 = 0.9; [b] h2 = 0.5; [c] h2 = 0.1). The considered designs are balanced (0% missing values) or unbalanced (30, 60, and 90% missing values randomly distributed in the dataset). See Table 2, 3, and 4 for significant differences between selection strategies.
