Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Three-way hybrid breeding in sugar beet is associated with strong genomic differentiation between male and female parental pools and persistent haplotypic differentiation at agronomically relevant loci over the last two decades. Three-way hybrid breeding has been used in several major crops to increase seed yield and manage heterosis. Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) breeding relies...
