Optimising breeding program design for seamless fusion of new breeding technologies
Improving prediction accuracy.
Utilising the datasets, expertise and networks in this Centre, Theme 4 will develop simulation tools to support breeding program optimisation and enable adoption of new technologies to transform plant and animal breeding programs.
Objectives:
Develop digital twin solutions to test alternative breeding program designs and integration of new technologies
Optimise reference data collection for integration of new phenotyping and genotyping technologies
Train next generation breeders in digital twin technology to optimise plant and animal breeding programs
Theme 4 example projects
project
Need for speed: developing a speed breeding toolkit for cotton breeding
project
Juggling gain, time and costs in the capture and use of genomic information in conifer tree breeding and deployment programs
