Multiple-trait breeding values for parental selection in self-pollinating crops.

Abstract excerpt

Using breeding values in parental selection of self-pollinating crops seems to be superior to conventional selection strategies, where selection is often based on several traits which are correlated among each other. However, analysing each trait separately can bias estimates of breeding values. This study examined responses to selection for total merit indices based on breeding values resulting from single- and...
