Optimizing Genomic Selection for a Sorghum Breeding Program in Haiti: A Simulation Study

Optimizing Genomic Selection for a Sorghum Breeding Program in Haiti: A Simulation Study

Young breeding programs in developing countries, like the Chibas sorghum breeding program in Haiti, face the challenge of increasing genetic gain with limited resources. Implementing genomic selection (GS) could increase genetic gain, but optimization of GS is needed to account for these programs’ u...
