OPTIMAL - Genetic and Biomarker-based Predictive Breeding of Maize Cultivars (Collaborative project)

Studies in a highly diverse panel of maize inbred lines showed that metabolitprofiles at an early stage of development contain sufficient information to predict the final biomass yield and to achieve a better selection response than with conventional methods (Riedelsheimer et al. 2012). With a focus on the prediction of the hybrid capacity on the basis of genetic markers and biomarker data of the...
