The 'big data' in plant breeding refers to the cumulative genotyping and phenotyping information obtained from either a series of experimental sets or generated from a large number of accessions. Recent study supports the employment of big data for enhancing the accuracy of complex trait prediction during hybrid breeding of crop plants.
