Abstract excerpt
To optimize designs to implement marker-assisted introgression programs aiming to introgress three unlinked quantitative trait loci (QTL), the present paper studies different alternatives versus a traditional backcross or intercross phase. Four alternative backcross strategies appear to be more advantageous by having 50% less genotyping load than a traditional backcross strategy tracking all three QTL at a time...
