Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Designing genomic selection to capture the additive and epistatic effects. Genomic selection (GS) offers great potential to accelerate long-term genetic gain, but strategic decisions such as progeny size and number of crosses remain poorly established, particularly under contrasting resource scenarios. We conducted stochastic simulations of rice breeding programs over 50 years (10 cycles) using...
