breeding scheme

Archetype for implementing Rapid Cycle Genomic Selection (RCGS) in CGIAR-NARES-SME breeding network pipelines

The rapid cycle genomic selection (RCGS) archetype, developed by Accelerated Breeding Initiative’s ACCELERATE Work Package, seeks to enable selection and recycling of new parents as fast as possible – preferably two-to-three-year cycles, using data that is accurately representing the target population of environments (TPE) in which the future potential varieties will grow.

Optimizing breeding schemes

Today 10/08/2019 we focused on discussing the analogy of plant breeding with other sectors like the automotive industry to show that breeders and QGs are couple that should work towards designing the pipeline to deliver a product (squares 2 and 3). The people participating felt they have to work towards defining clear boundaries on where and when the breeder comes to scene.
