Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Mating designs determine the realized additive genetic variance in a population sample. Deflated or inflated variances can lead to reduced or overly optimistic assessment of future selection gains. The additive genetic variance [Formula: see text] inherent to a breeding population is a major determinant of short- and long-term genetic gain. When estimated from experimental data, it is not only the...
