Translating High-Throughput Phenotyping into Genetic Gain. [PDF]

Trends Plant Sci, 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.

Conventional and Molecular Breeding Tools for Accelerating Genetic Gain in Faba Bean (Vicia Faba L.). [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2021
Faba bean is a cool-season grain legume crop, which is grown worldwide for food and feed. Despite a decrease in area under faba bean in the past, the interest in growing faba bean is increasing globally due to its high seed protein content and its ...

Estimating genetic gains for tolerance to stress combinations in tropical maize hybrids

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Maize is a strategic food crop in sub-Saharan Africa. However, most maize growing tropical savannas particularly in West and Central African experience the occurrence of frequent droughts and Striga infestation, resulting in 30–100% yield losses.

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

Front Genet, 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.

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

Genetic yield gains of winter wheat in Germany over more than 100 years (1895–2007) under contrasting fertilizer applications [PDF]

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
For highly productive regions such as Germany, the increase of wheat grain yields observed throughout the 20th century is largely attributed to the progress in crop breeding and agronomic management. However, several studies indicate a strong variability
