Why usefulness is rarely useful.

G3 (Bethesda, Md.) - 18 Mar 2025

Wang Fangyi, Feldmann Mitchell J, Runcie Daniel E

Abstract excerpt

Mate selection plays an important role in breeding programs. The Usefulness Criterion was proposed to improve mate selection, combining information on both the mean and standard deviation of the potential offspring of a cross, particularly in clonally propagated species where large family sizes are possible. Predicting the mean value of a cross is generally easier than predicting the standard deviation,...
