Abstract excerpt
The optimal choice of parents and crosses and, therefore, the prediction of the segregation variance are of high relevance to maximize genetic gain in breeding programs. Several methods have been developed for the prediction of segregation variance, including correlation with genotypic diversity, progeny simulations, or algebraic derivations in case of a diploid inheritance. To the best of our knowledge, no...
