Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) are widely cultivated temperate crops. In breeding programs with these crops in Japan, effective genomic-assisted selection was performed by selecting core marker sets from thousands of genome-wide amplicon sequencing markers. The core sets consist of 768 and 960 markers for barley and wheat, respectively. These markers are distributed evenly across the genomes and effectively detect widely distributed polymorphisms in the chromosomes. The core set utility was assessed using 1,032 barley and 1,798 wheat accessions across the country. Minor allele frequency and chromosomal distributions showed that the core sets could effectively capture polymorphisms across the entire genome, indicating that the core sets are applicable to highly-related advanced breeding materials. Using the core sets, we also assessed the trait value predictability. As observed via fivefold cross-validation, the prediction accuracies of six barley traits ranged from 0.56-0.74 and 0.62 on average, and the corresponding values for eight wheat traits ranged from 0.44-0.83 and 0.65 on average. These data indicate that the established core marker sets enable breeding processes to be accelerated in a cost-effective manner and provide a strong foundation for further research on genomic selection in crops.
