Construction of a strawberry breeding core collection to capture and exploit genetic variation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Genetic diversity is crucial for the success of plant breeding programs and core collections are important resources to capture this diversity. Many core collections have already been constructed by gene banks, whose main goal is to obtain a panel of a limited number of genotypes to simplify management practices and to improve shareability while retaining as much diversity as possible. However, as gene banks have a different composition and goal than plant breeding programs, constructing a core collection for a plant breeding program should consider different aspects.

Results

In this study, we present a novel approach for constructing a core collection by integrating both genomic and pedigree information to maximize the representation of the breeding germplasm in
