Talented students in some of the current areas of research in Crop Molecular Breeding

The Grand Selection

Selecting the best plants from large populations is a fundamental step in plant breeding practice. The selection process to obtain the best genotype typically spans multiple rounds of selection in successive plant populations. This combination of iteration and the stochastic element of Mendelian allele segregation makes the result of even a relative simple selection process surprisingly difficult to predict. For a plant breeder, it would be of great benefit, if an optimal selection process could be determined in advance, as growing and selecting large populations of plants is costly. In the context of a challenging research program in collaboration with several breeding companies, KeyGene is developing and testing algorithms to predict optimized breeding strategies. The selected student will focus on the further development of algorithms based on stochastic optimization, dynamic programming or genetic algorithms.
