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 ...

Oracle selection provides insight into how far off practice is from Utopia in plant breeding

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Since the introduction of genomic selection in plant breeding, high genetic gains have been realized in different plant breeding programs. Various methods based on genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for selecting parental lines that maximize the ...

Correlation between genetic polymorphisms and stroke recovery: analysis of the GAIN Americas and GAIN International Studies [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recovery after stroke occurs on the basis of specific molecular events. Genetic polymorphisms associated with impaired neural repair or plasticity might reduce recovery from stroke and might also account for some of the ...

Expected Genetic Contributions and Their Impact on Gene Flow and Genetic Gain [PDF]

Genetics, 1999
Abstract Long-term genetic contributions (ri) measure lasting gene flow from an individual i. By accounting for linkage disequilibrium generated by selection both within and between breeding groups (categories), assuming the infinitesimal model, a general formula was derived for the expected contribution of ancestor i in category q (μi(q)

Heterobeltiosis in Banana and Genetic Gains through Crossbreeding [PDF]

The Third International Tropical Agriculture Conference (TROPAG 2019), 2020
Heterosis, or hybrid vigour, is the superiority of the hybrid for a certain trait over the mean of its two parents. Heterobeltiosis is a form of heterosis where the hybrid is superior to its best parent. Banana breeding is a tedious, time-consuming process, taking up to two decades to develop a hybrid.

Prediction of genetic gain from quadratic optimisation with constrained rates of inbreeding [PDF]

, 2006
There are selection methods available that allow the optimisation of genetic contributions of selection candidates for maximising the rate of genetic gain while restricting the rate of inbreeding. These methods imply selection on quadratic indices as the

Sparse testcrossing for early-stage genomic prediction of general combining ability to increase genetic gain in maize hybrid breeding programs. [PDF]

Theor Appl Genet
Sparse testcrossing is an effective strategy for increasing both short- and long-term genetic gain in hybrid breeding programs. Maize hybrid breeding programs aim to develop new hybrid varieties by crossing genetically distinct parents from different ...
