Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Implementing a collaborative pre-breeding multi-parental population efficiently identifies promising donor x elite pairs to enrich the flint maize elite germplasm. Genetic diversity is crucial for maintaining genetic gains and ensuring breeding programs' long-term success. In a closed breeding program, selection inevitably leads to a loss of genetic diversity. While managing diversity can delay this...
