Traits that define the suitability of a crop for production and consumption are often assessed and predicted to identify superior genotypes for commercial deployment. This study assessed genetic parameter estimates and prediction for 25 agronomic and quality traits in 49 white yam clones. It employed best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) in a mixed model analysis using genomic relationship matrix derived from 6337 Diversity Array Technology (DArT) molecular markers, multivariate technique of the principal component and canonical discriminant analysis with BLUP predicted values to select key traits for yam breeding. Findings revealed that additive genetic, non-additive genetic and non-genetic factors contributed substantially to phenotypic variation of the studied yam traits. The non-genetic effects accounted for higher variation than the total genetic effects for majority of the traits except yam mosaic virus (YMV), tuber number per plant, ash content, flour yield, peel loss, and protein content. The narrow sense heritability was generally low (<0.30) for all traits except yam anthracnose (0.31), ash content (0.30) and peel loss (0.89). Trait selection with multivariate analysis identified 15 from the 25 traits with fresh tuber yield, tuber dry matter content (DMC), YMV, root-knot and Scutellonema bradys nematode susceptibility as the most important traits for white yam variety testing. This paper presents the importance of complementing BLUP prediction that accounts for the relationship among the genotypes with multivariate analysis for genetic parameter estimation, prediction and selection in yam breeding trials to accelerate the genetic gains.
