Multi-trait Improvement by Predicting Genetic Correlations in Breeding Crosses

The many quantitative traits of interest to plant breeders are often genetically correlated, which can complicate progress from selection. Improving multiple traits may be enhanced by identifying parent combinations – an important breeding step – that will deliver more favorable genetic correlations...
