Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A reciprocal testcross design increases the relatedness among single crosses and testcrosses, thereby increasing the effectiveness of genome-wide prediction in maize. A reciprocal testcross design uses parental inbreds in an opposite heterotic group as testers in maize (Zea mays L.) inbred development. In particular, doubled haploids from the A × B cross are testcrossed with inbreds Y and Z, and...
