Evolutionary computing to assemble standing genetic diversity and achieve long-term genetic gain.

Abstract excerpt

Loss of genetic diversity in elite crop breeding pools can severely limit long-term genetic gains and limit ability to make gains in new traits, like heat tolerance, that are becoming important as the climate changes. Here, we investigate and propose potential breeding program applications of optimal haplotype stacking (OHS), a selection method that retains useful diversity in the population. OHS selects sets of...
