Selection on Optimal Haploid Value Increases Genetic Gain and Preserves More Genetic Diversity Relative to Genomic Selection.

چکیده
Doubled haploids are routinely created and phenotypically selected in plant breeding programs to accelerate the breeding cycle. Genomic selection, which makes use of both phenotypes and genotypes, has been shown to further improve genetic gain through prediction of performance before or without phenotypic characterization of novel germplasm. Additional opportunities exist to combine genomic prediction methods with the creation of doubled haploids. Here we propose an extension to genomic selection, optimal haploid value (OHV) selection, which predicts the best doubled haploid that can be produced from a segregating plant. This method focuses selection on the haplotype and optimizes the breeding program toward its end goal of generating an elite fixed line. We rigorously tested OHV selection breeding programs, using computer simulation, and show that it results in up to 0.6 standard deviations more genetic gain than genomic selection. At the same time, OHV selection preserved a substantially greater amount of genetic diversity in the population than genomic selection, which is important to achieve long-term genetic gain in breeding populations.

Selection on Expected Maximum Haploid Breeding Values Can Increase Genetic Gain in Recurrent Genomic Selection
Genomic selection (GS) offers the possibility to estimate the effects of genome-wide molecular markers, which can be used to calculate genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) for individuals without phenotypes. GEBVs can serve as a selection criterion in recurrent GS, maximizing single-cycle but not necessarily long-term genetic gain. As simple genome-wide sums, GEBVs do not take into account...

The current study was conducted to consider how pedigree and the gene-dropping analysis can use to monitor genetic diversity, and to recommend a breeding strategy for improving breast weight (BRW) in a population of Japanese quail. A total of 312 birds were divided equally into two lines. One line (S1) was selected for four-week body weight (BW) based on breeding value, and the other (S2) was s...

Drought is one of the most important environmental factors affecting plant growth. The double haploid method is one of the most common breeding methods in wheat. Using old cultivars in cross-breeding programs can be effective for restoring genes lost during evolution. In this study, in order to evaluate the genetic diversity and to select the drought-tolerant introgression wheat lines, 151 doub...
