The Big BIT maize experiment: A large multi‐location, multi‐year, multi‐tester, multi‐population predictive breeding validation study Open
The Big Breeding Innovation Team (Big BIT) maize ( Zea mays L.) experiment was one of the largest genomic data‐informed predictive breeding validation studies ever conducted. The experiment was a multi‐location, multi‐year, multi‐tester, m…

Back to the future 2: the implications of germplasm structure on the balance between short and long-term genetic gain in a changing target population of environments Open
Plant breeding operates within a highly complex genetic landscape determined by gene effects emerging through biological networks and their interactions with the environment. This environment is not constant but subject to short-term fluct…

Can we harness digital technologies and physiology to hasten genetic gain in US maize breeding? Open
Plant physiology can offer invaluable insights to accelerate genetic gain. However, translating physiological understanding into breeding decisions has been an ongoing and complex endeavor. Here we demonstrate an approach to leverage physi…

Back to the future: implications of genetic complexity for the structure of hybrid breeding programs Open
Commercial hybrid breeding operations can be described as decentralized networks of smaller, more or less isolated breeding programs. There is further a tendency for the disproportionate use of successful inbred lines for generating the ne…

Two decades of creating drought tolerant maize and underpinning prediction technologies in the US corn-belt: Review and perspectives on the future of crop design Open
Over the last decade, society witnessed the largest expansion of agricultural land planted with drought tolerant (DT) maize ( Zea mays L.) Dedicated efforts to drought breeding led to development of DT maize. Here we show that after two de…
