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

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