Genetic similarity between donor and recurrent parents can reduce the number of backcross generation in marker-assisted backcross

The marker assisted backcross (MABC) method is the most used to obtain transgenic hybrid and transgenic inbred lines in maize with few backcrosses (BC) generations. It is possible that the use of donor parents with greater genetic similarity with recurrent parents can further reduce the number of BC...
