Cross potential selection: a proposal for optimizing crossing combinations in recurrent selection using the usefulness criterion of future inbred lines.

ABSTRACT: In plant breeding programs, rapid production of novel varieties is highly desirable. Genomic selection allows the selection of superior individuals based on genomic estimated breeding values. However, it is worth noting that superior individuals may not always be superior parents. The choice of the crossing pair significantly influences the genotypic value of the resulting progeny. This study has introduced a new crossing strategy, termed cross potential selection, designed to expedite the production of novel varieties of inbred crops. Cross potential selection integrates fast recurrent selection and usefulness criterion to generate novel varieties. It considers the segregation of each crossing pair and computes the expected genotypic values of the top-performing individuals, assuming that
