The Switchgrass Genome: Tools and Strategies (2011, background): “…to minimally triple the rate of gain per year for traits such as biomass yield, survivorship (stress tolerance), and recalcitrance, which typically require huge fi eld eff orts for sampling and measurement combined with lengthy life cycles to collect meaningful data (Casler and Brummer, 2008).”
Switchgrass Breeding, Genetics, and Genomics (2012, methodology): “phenotype-based selection protocol [80].”
Achievements and Challenges in Improving Temperate Perennial Forage Legumes (2015, background): “Few empirical comparisons have been conducted among selection schemes, and theoretical comparisons (Busbice, 1970; Casler and Brummer, 2008) indicate that different values for relevant genetic parameters would likely lead to different methods being most effective.”
Switchgrass Genomic Diversity, Ploidy, and Evolution: Novel Insights from a Network-Based SNP Discovery Protocol (2013, background): “While significant gains have been made since the inception of switchgrass breeding in the 1950s [35], genome-based selection methods offer significant opportunities to increase the rate of gain [36].”
Applied Genetics and Genomics in Alfalfa Breeding (2012, background): “on both parents, rather than only on maternal parents, in a family selection scheme such as half-sib family recurrent selection [106].”
