Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Rapid cycling genomic selection is a highly efficient tool for pre-breeding of maize landraces for complex traits, especially in combination with multi-trait selection and model retraining. The introduction of landrace-derived material into modern breeding programs can only succeed if it performs satisfactorily for yield and other key agronomic traits. In this study, we explored the prospects of...
