Improved genetic distance-based spatial deployment can effectively minimize inbreeding in seed orchard

Abstract Background Inbreeding in seed orchards is expected to increase with the advancement of breeding cycles, which results in the delivery of crops with suboptimal genetic gain, reduced genetic diversity, and lower seed set. Here, a genetic distance-dependent method for clonal spatial deployment...
