Optimization of recurrent rapid cycle breeding in maize for sustained long-term genetic improvement via stochastic simulations.

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, the turnover of germplasm in plant breeding has substantially increased as the use of genomic information allows for earlier selection and the integration of controlled growing environments reduces the time to reach a particular growing stage. However, high generation turnover and intensive selection of lines before own yield trials are performed come at the risk of a drastic reduction of genetic...
