Designed diversity: from marker-assisted backcrossing to computationally optimised polygenic introgression.

Abstract excerpt

Crop breeding strategies for trait introgression are shifting from empirical backcrossing, focused on a small number of target loci, to a predictive, large-scale, design-driven approach. This approach frames the introgression of desirable trait loci as a constrained multi-objective optimisation problem, balancing success probability, elite genome recovery, time, and resource use. Computational tools such as...
