Cloning and characterization of a novel maize leaf area modifier and its effects across elite germplasm

Matthew M. Runyon, Marlee Rose Labroo, Miriam I. Arend, Michael J. Scanlon, Anthony J. Studer

This study identifies a novel maize gene, rdla1, which affects leaf area and shows genotype-dependent effects when introgressed into diverse genetic backgrounds.

New cycle, same old mistakes? Overlapping vs. discrete generations in long-term recurrent selection

Marlee Rose Labroo, Jessica Elaine Rutkoski

This study compares genetic gain in recurrent selection with overlapping vs. discrete generations across different selection methods and heritability levels using simulations.

Clonal breeding strategies to harness heterosis: insights from stochastic simulation

Marlee Rose Labroo, Jeffrey B. Endelman, Dorcus Chepkesis Gemenet, Christian R. Werner, R. Chris Gaynor, Giovanny E. Covarrubias-Pazaran

This study compares clonal breeding strategies using stochastic simulation to determine their genetic gain per unit cost, finding that reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) is optimal in diploids with high genomic selection intensity but not in autopolyploids.
