Abstract
Exemplary methods for use in identifying crosses for use in plant breeding are disclosed. One exemplary method includes generating population prediction scores for each potential cross within a set of potential crosses, where each population prediction score is associated with a prediction of commercial success for the associated potential cross within the set of potential crosses. The method also includes selecting a subgroup of potential crosses, based on thresholds associated with the population prediction scores for the set of potential crosses. The exemplary method further includes selecting multiple target crosses from the subgroup of potential crosses based on a genetic relatedness of the parents in the subgroup of potential crosses, and directing ones of the selected target crosses into a breeding pipeline, thereby providing crosses to the breeding pipeline based, at least in part, on commercial success of parents included in the selected ones of the filtered crosses.
