Back to the future 2: the implications of germplasm structure on the balance between short- and long-term genetic gain in a changing target population of environments.

Abstract excerpt

Plant breeding operates within a complex genetic landscape determined by genes interacting within biological networks and with the environment. This environment is not constant but subject to short-term fluctuations and long-term shifts. This makes finding a balance between adapting germplasm for short- and long-term objectives challenging. We previously investigated the implications of genetic complexity on...
