Archetype for implementing Rapid Cycle Genomic Selection (RCGS) in CGIAR-NARES-SME breeding network pipelines: Examples for pure line crops; RTB crops and hybrid crops por CGIAR Initiative on Accelerated Breeding, International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center

“…To achieve this we need to: i) Take advantage of the BRS-procured genotyping services with mid-density marker panels that can estimate genomic relationships and marker effects; ii) Deploy new testing strategies that sample the TPE better, using relatively similar resources, e.g. by use of sparse testing where alleles are replicated across locations in the TPE without physical replications or with partial replications, and using the family structure and genomic relationships to provide connectivity, as well as the additional use of managed stress trials to mimic different environments; iii) Build and leverage on efficient CGIAR-NARES-SME breeding networks to scale up testing sites at Early Testing 1 and develop innovative ways for resource reallocation between Early Testing and later stages of testing; iv) Recycle new parents for population improvement faster using the improved accuracy from better testing strategies. …”
