Abstract excerpt
Many nascent breeding programs aim to achieve genetic gain by crossing locally-elite germplasm, but a lack of systematic approaches to develop elite gene pools from locally adapted varieties hinders their progress. Motivated by the observation of undesirable transgressive segregation in presumed elite crosses in Senegalese cereal breeding programs, we designed approaches for de novo development of elite gene...
