Realized Genetic Gain in Rice: Achievements from Breeding Programs. [PDF]

Rice (N Y), 2023
AbstractGenetic improvement is crucial for ensuring food security globally. Indeed, plant breeding has contributed significantly to increasing the productivity of major crops, including rice, over the last century. Evaluating the efficiency of breeding strategies necessitates a quantification of this progress.

Preservation of Genetic Variation in a Breeding Population for Long-Term Genetic Gain. [PDF]

G3 (Bethesda), 2020
Abstract Genomic selection has been successfully implemented in plant and animal breeding. The transition of parental selection based on phenotypic characteristics to genomic selection (GS) has reduced breeding time and cost while accelerating the rate of genetic progression. Although breeding methods have been adapted to include genomic

Editorial: Accelerating Genetic Gains in Pulses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Legumes, members of the Fabaceae/Leguminosae family, are the third largest family of higher plants with almost 20,000 species belonging to 650 genera, and are ubiquitous all over the world. Among all legumes, pulse crops or food legumes fall into the four clades of the subfamily Papilionoideae which include aeschynomenoids/dalbergiods, genistoids ...

Translating High-Throughput Phenotyping into Genetic Gain [PDF]

Trends in Plant Science, 2018
Inability to efficiently implement high-throughput field phenotyping is increasingly perceived as a key component that limits genetic gain in breeding programs. Field phenotyping must be integrated into a wider context than just choosing the correct selection traits, deployment tools, evaluation platforms, or basic data-management methods.
