Strategies Using Genomic Selection to Increase Genetic Gain in Breeding Programs for Wheat [PDF]
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.

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.

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 ...
