Module 10: Recurrent Selection
Recurrent selection
•
Cyclical selection of populations
– form families
– evaluate in trials
– recombine selections
•
Pedigree selection and improvement of elite lines
are also cyclical processes, but the population
structure is not so clearly defined
•
Selfing and introgression of new germplasm are
common features of both selection systems
•
Recurrent selection and development of lines can be
integrated into a comprehensive system
Bernardo, Chapt. 10
Rationale for recurrent selection
•
Selfing systems:
– Fixation of alleles is so rapid that the impact of selection is limited
– Probability of obtaining segregants with all of the favorable alleles
controlling a quantitative trait is small
Example: with 5 loci, all alleles have p=0.5
1/32 chance to get all of the good alleles
•
Recurrent selection:
– systematically increases the frequency of favorable alleles
Example: with 5 loci, all alleles have p=0.6
1/13 chance to get all of the good alleles
– maintains the genetic variation within a population to permit continual
progress from selection
Recurrent selection in practice
Why is it not used more often? (Bernardo)
•
Easy to apply in cross-pollinated crops; difficult in selfpollinating crops
– male sterility systems can be used
•
Objectives are long-term
– several generations needed to complete a cycle
• Immediate output is an improved open-pollinated variety, not
a line or hybrid
•
Need to choose one or a few populations for selection
– not as much opportunity for speculation in use of germplasm
•
Nonetheless, there are many examples of widescale use of
varieties developed from recurrent selection schemes

Predicting response to selection
R=h2S
• Need estimates of h2 and the selection
differential
• In theory, h2 is only applicable for a single
generation, because heritability depends on
gene frequencies. In practice, predictions
seem to work for 5-10 generations.
Selection differential
• S can be predicted if we can assume:
– normal distribution of phenotypes
– truncation selection
• Standardized selection differential (i)
S = iσP
i = S/σP = z/p
p = proportion selected
z = height of curve at
truncation point
i = standard deviations
from the mean

Comprehensive breeding program
•
Development of breeding populations from diverse
sources such that the performance of the
population cross is maximized while maintaining
high levels of genetic variance within each
population
•
Application of an effective recurrent selection
procedure
•
Development of inbreds from each population with
good combining ability and recycling of superior
inbreds back into the base populations
Eberhart et al., 1967
Increasing selection response
• Increase the selection differential (reduce
proportion selected)
•
•
•
•
Increase the coefficient of A2
Increase A2
Reduce nongenetic effects
Reduce generations/cycle or increase
generations/year
Choice of selection method
I. Breeding Objectives
•
Open-pollinated varieties, synthetics or hybrids
– Status of commercial seed sector
– Strategy for distribution of seed
•
•
Elite variety or genetic resource
Target production environments
– Low or high inputs?
– Narrow or broad adaptation?
•
Number of traits, relative importance of traits
Choice of selection method
II. Genetic, Environmental, External Factors
• Heritability of the trait(s)
• Extent of GXE
• Type of gene action
• Effects of inbreeding on the trait
• Expected gain per cycle
• Number of seasons per cycle
• Growing seasons per year and availability of offseason nurseries
• Seed quantities required for screening
• Costs and resources available

Comments
Half-sibs
1. Collect pollen in bulk
and cross to a female
plant
2. Take pollen from one
male and cross to
several females
1. One ear
1. Controlled pollinations or
by detasseling
2. ~4 ears
2. Full-sib families within
half-sibs
Full-sibs
Cross two plants
One or two ears  With or without reciprocals
S1, S2, etc.
Self pollination
One ear
Testcrosses
1. Cross one male plant
to a female tester and
self
2. Cross an S1 line to a
tester (population or
inbred line)
1. ~4 ears
2. many ears
 Seed quantities decrease
with inbreeding
 Can increase a line by
selfing or by sib-mating
 Controlled pollinations or
by detasseling (if S1 line is
female)
one ear  at least four single-row plots
Maintenance of Maize Streak Virus Resistance
Modified full-sib family selection
Year 1
Main season,
savanna zone
Evaluate full-sib families in target environments
Year 2
First season,
forest zone
Recombine selected full-sib families by making
plant to plant crosses between families
Year 2
Second season
(high disease
pressure)
1) Plant F1 families ear-to-row under MSV
infestation
2) Remove susceptible plants and offtypes
before flowering
3) Make reciprocal crosses between best plants
in good rows to generate new full-sib families
Off-season: data entry and analysis
Reciprocal S1 Testcross Selection (modified)
Year 1
First season
 Self
Year 1
 Evaluate ~500 S1 families (2 reps, 2 loc)
Second season  Select for disease resistance and other
(high disease
highly heritable traits
pressure)
 Testcross to the reciprocal population
Year 2
Main season
 Evaluate ~ 200 testcrosses (3 reps, 4 loc) in
the target environments
 Select for yield and other agronomic traits
Year 2
Off-season
 Recombine selected S1 families
• Can stagger populations so that one is at the S1 stage and the other is
at the testcross stage each year
Meadowfoam - use of blue bottle flies as pollinators
S1 testcross selection in meadowfoam
Year 1 (spring)
– Self ~300 plants in the greenhouse with blue bottle flies
Year 1 (fall) + Year 2 (spring)
– Plant rows of ~5 seeds per family in isolation with bees, 2 blocks
– Reject S1 families with poor agronomic characteristics (disease,
insect damage, small seeds, etc)
– Harvest ~6000 seeds per family in bulk
Year 2 (fall) + Year 3 (spring)
– Evaluate ~150 testcross families in yield trials, select ~30
Year 3 (fall)
– Recombine S1 seed of selected families in greenhouse

Balancing resources for recurrent selection
• *Daylength can be controlled in the greenhouse to complete
a generation in four months
• Makes efficient use of greenhouse space
• New experimental varieties can be evaluated every year
