Abstract excerpt
Targeted recombination is the ability to induce or select for specific recombination points on chromosomes. A first study with the intermated B73 × Mo17 maize ( L.) population showed that targeted recombination doubles the predicted gains for yield and other agronomic traits. Our objective was to assess the predicted gains from targeted recombination for quantitative traits in multiple, elite maize populations. A...
