Abstract excerpt
Genebanks have a vital role in safeguarding plant genetic resources and providing access to valuable genetic diversity that is absent from modern breeding gene pools. Yet, a major challenge for using genebank materials in crop improvement programs lies in selecting manageable subsets of accessions that maximize genetic diversity for traits of interest. The integration of genomic information is creating new...
