Achieving Genetic Gains in Practice
, 2022 AbstractAccelerating the rate of genetic gain for grain yield together with key traits is pivotal for delivering improved wheat varieties. The key strategies of CIMMYT’s spring bread wheat improvement program to continuously increase genetic gains and deliver elite wheat lines to national partners in the target countries include: breeding for product ...

The effect of genomic information on optimal contribution selection in livestock breeding programs [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Long-term benefits in animal breeding programs require that increases in genetic merit be balanced with the need to maintain diversity (lost due to inbreeding). This can be achieved by using optimal contribution selection. The availability of

Selection of parental lines for plant breeding via genomic prediction
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 A set of superior parental lines is imperative for the development of high-performing inbred lines in any biparental crossing program for crops. The main objectives of this study are to (a) develop a genomic prediction approach to identify superior ...

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.
