Optimum recombination rates for genetic gains in simulated recurrent selection in empirical maize populations.
The plant genome - 1 Jun 2026
Anilkumar Chandrappa, Bernardo Rex
Abstract excerpt
Meiotic recombination creates new allelic combinations, but it also disrupts favorable parental haplotypes. Our objective was to assess if optimum recombination rates exist in elite maize (Zea mays L.) populations undergoing simulated short-term and long-term recurrent selection. Genomewide marker effects were calculated for eight populations genotyped with 3072 single nucleotide polymorphism markers and...
