Strategies Using Genomic Selection to Increase Genetic Gain in Breeding Programs for Wheat
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Conventional wheat-breeding programs involve crossing parental lines and subsequent selfing of the offspring for several generations to obtain inbred lines. Such a breeding program takes more than 8 years to develop a variety.
