Optimal implementation of genomic selection in clone breeding programs exemplified in potato: II. Effect of selection strategy and cross-selection method on long-term genetic gain.

Abstract excerpt

Different cross-selection (CS) methods incorporating genomic selection (GS) have been used in diploid species to improve long-term genetic gain and preserve diversity. However, their application to heterozygous and autotetraploid crops such as potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is lacking so far. The objectives of our study were to (i) assess the effects of different CS methods and the incorporation of GS and genetic...
