maxRgain—An R Package for Maximising Genetic Gains in Polyclonal Selection

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyclonal selection, which was developed in the context of ancient grapevine varieties, uses intravarietal variability to improve the resilience and sustainability of viticulture. Based on quantitative genetics and linear mixed models, this approach predicts genotypic effects to select a group of clones that, as a whole, satisfy target ...

Additive Variance and Open‐Pollinated Progenies Under Mixed Mating

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pollinated progeny tests are still widely interpreted as if all the individuals within a maternal family were true half‐sibs. However, in species with mixed mating systems, this assumption is often biologically unrealistic and may bias the estimation of the additive variance, narrow‐sense heritability and expected selection gains.

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Effects of crossing distance on components of fitness in two rare rock plants

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Crossing experiments between populations of the rare rock species Saxifraga rosacea ssp. rosacea (8×) and S. rosacea ssp. sponhemica (6×) resulted in heterosis for some traits and outbreeding depression for others. Crossing the two subspecies resulted in sterile hybrids indicating that mixing populations of rare species is not always beneficial ...

Room to regenerate: microhabitats and the recruitment niche as drivers of mountain woodland restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...
