PBG 650 Advanced Plant Breeding
Module 12: Selection
– Inbred Lines and Hybrids
Selection for a high mean
• Success is a function of
– the population mean 
– the deviation of the best segregants from 
– ability to identify the best segregants
• Advanced Cycle Breeding = “inbred recycling”
– cross best by best (often related)
– pedigree and backcross selection
– emphasis on high mean at the expense of G2
– need methods for predicting 

Inbreeding as a Selection Tool for OPVs
•
•
•
•
More genetic variation among lines
•
Sets of inbred lines can be used to identify markerphenotype associations for important traits
•
Best lines can be intermated to produce synthetic
varieties with defined characteristics
Increased uniformity within lines
Visual selection can be done for some traits
Permits repeated evaluation of fixed genotypes in
diverse environments, for many traits
Testcrosses
• The choice of tester will determine if an allele
is favorable or not

Testcross mean of the heterozygote is half-way between the
two homozygotes
• Cross “good” by “good”
• But, the correlation between the performance of inbred lines
per se and their performance in testcrosses is very poor for
yield and some other agronomic traits
Heterosis or Hybrid Vigor
•
Quantitative genetics:
– superiority over mean of parents
•
Applied definition
– superiority over both parents
– economic comparisons need to be made to nonhybrid
cultivars
•
Various types
– population cross
– single-, three-way, and double-crosses
– topcrosses
– modified single-cross

• Amount of heterosis due to a single locus = d
• 50% is lost with random-mating
Theories for Heterosis
•
Dominance theory: many loci with d  a
– Should be possible to obtain inbred  single-cross
– Expect skewed distribution in F2 (may not be the case if
many loci control the trait)
•
•
Overdominance theory: d > a

• tight, repulsion
phase linkages
• partial to complete
dominance
Heterosis – some observations
• Experimental evidence suggests that heterosis is largely
due to partial or complete dominance
• Yields of inbred lines per se are poor predictors of hybrid
performance
– due to dominance
– hybrids from vigorous lines may be too tall, etc.
– due to heritability <1
• Heterosis generally increases with level of genetic
divergence between populations, however….
– There is a limit beyond which heterosis tends to decrease
– A high level of divergence does not guarantee that there
will be a high level of heterosis
Heterosis – more observations
•
Epistasis can also contribute to heterosis
– does not require d>0
•
Selection can influence heterosis
– Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic
(BSSS)
– Iowa Corn Borer Synthetic
(BSCB1)
– High density SNP array
shows increasing
divergence over time in
response to reciprocal
recurrent selection
Gerke, J.P. et al., 2013 arXiv:1307.7313 [q-bio.PE]
Heterotic groups
•
Parents of single-crosses generally come from
different heterotic groups
•
Two complementary heterotic groups are often
referred to as a “heterotic pattern”
•
Temperate maize
– ‘Reid Yellow Dent’ x ‘Lancaster Sure Crop’
– Iowa Stiff Stalk x Non Stiff Stalk
•
Tropical maize
– Tuxpeño x Caribbean Flint
Identifying heterotic patterns
•
•
Diallel crosses among populations
•
Use molecular markers to establish genetic
relationships, and make diallel crosses among
dissimilar groups
Crosses to testers representing known heterotic
groups
– initial studies were disappointing
– markers must be linked to important QTL
Exploiting heterosis
•
•
Recycle inbreds within heterotic groups
Evaluate testcrosses between heterotic groups
– elite inbreds often used as testers
•
BLUP can predict performance of new singlecrosses using data from single-crosses that have
already been tested
– fairly good correlations between observed and
predicted values
What is a synthetic?
•
Lonnquist, 1961:
– Open-pollinated populations derived from the intercrossing of
–
•
selfed plants or lines
Subsequently maintained by routine mass selection procedures
from isolated plantings
Poehlman and Sleper:
– Advanced generation of a seed mixture of strains, clones,
–
–
–
inbreds, or hybrids
Propagated for a limited number of generations by openpollination
Must be periodically reconstituted from parents
Parents selected based on combining ability or progeny tests
