Titel: Enhancing Selection Gain of Population Breeding in Winter Rye by Using Genomic Selection
Abstract:
We are developing and assessing a genomic selection–based breeding scheme aimed at increasing selection gain in winter rye population varieties. Using genotyping-by-sequencing markers and predictive models trained on polycross progenies, we implement single-plant genomic selection to accelerate genetic improvement. This ongoing work is designed to enhance the long-term competitiveness and adaptability of population rye, particularly under organic and low-input conditions.
