Talk: Comparisons of hybrid breeding strategies in clonal polyploids
A talk from EiB/Accelerated Breeding's Marlee Labroo on "Comparisons of hybrid breeding strategies in clonal polyploids" at the2023 Tools for Polyploids workshop (1/13/2023).
Query Breeding Management Systems (QBMS) R package
Linking data management systems to analytics is an important step in breeding digitalization.
Breeding Resources Initiative lays out ambitious plans for support and services
Breeding scheme design using quantitative genetics: 10 session course
This training is a professional development course designed by the Excellence in Breeding (EiB) Platform to increase the skillset of plant breeders to design breeding schemes. Across the public and private sector there is a gap on how to design breeding schemes and instead breeding schemes are normally inherited from one breeder to the other. EiB’s Module 2 and collaborators from seed industry have addressed this issue by developing and making this training available.
Breeding pipeline manager
This tool aims to help breeding professionals to formalize the market segments, product profiles and breeding schemes associated to their breeding program(s). It serves as repository of valuable information that can be used for different purposes, e.g. discussions with leadership on proper targets, level of investment in different markets, breeding scheme optimization discussions to allocate resources more efficiently, share information with partners remotely, among others. The resulting documents can be considered the “blueprints” of the design step in the breeding process.
Putting gender and social inclusion at the heart of plant breeding
In this Story of Excellence, Vivian Polar (CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers & Bananas and the Gender and Breeding Initiative) shared how G+ Tools are being used to help plant breeders interpret gender research to create varieties that meet the needs of women and other farmers.
Modernizing CIP's potato breeding program
In this Story of Excellence, Hannele Lindqvist-Kreuze (the International Potato Center, CIP) shares how CIP is optimizing and scaling up genotyping to accelerate breeding while maintaining low costs.
Characterization of rice quality traits to improve breeding for Latin America and the Caribbean
In this Story of Excellence, Juan Arbelaez (the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and Maribel Cruz (Latin American Fund for Irrigated Rice) present their work on genetic and phenotypic characterization of rice grain quality traits to define breeding strategies for improving rice milling, appearance, and cooking qualities in Latin America and the Caribbean.
