Mitigation of inbreeding while preserving genetic gain in genomic breeding programs for outbred plants.

Abstract excerpt

KEY MESSAGE: Heuristic genomic inbreeding controls reduce inbreeding in genomic breeding schemes without reducing genetic gain. Genomic selection is increasingly being implemented in plant breeding programs to accelerate genetic gain of economically important traits. However, it may cause significant loss of genetic diversity when compared with traditional schemes using phenotypic selection. We propose heuristic...
