Back to the future 2: the implications of germplasm structure on the balance between short- and long-term genetic gain in a changing target population of environments Abstract. Plant breeding operates within a complex genetic landscape determined by genes interacting within biological networks and with the environment. T

There are many publications on tools and technologies to improve #geneticgain within public sector breeding, but many overlook the real world constraints these programs face.

We found simple changes in a breeding scheme (within a fixed budget) could increase genetic gain per year by 43%.

Improved genomic prediction performance with ensembles of diverse models Abstract. The improvement of selection accuracy of genomic prediction is a key factor in accelerating genetic gain for crop breeding. Traditionally, effort
