  • Publication number: 20240032493
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically allocating test protocols to a plurality of test locations. Once such method includes a computing device executing a first stage machine learning prediction model (MLPM) based on protocol data for multiple test protocols for a test experiment to generate a first stage output. The first stage MLPM is trained based on historical allocation data for one or more prior test experiments. Multiple test sets are associated with the test protocols, and the first stage output includes, for multiple test locations, allocation prediction scores for the test protocols. Based on the first stage output, the computing device executes a second stage optimization model to generate a second stage output. The second stage output includes an allocation plan for the test protocols. The allocation plan identifies one or more of the test locations for each of the test protocols.

  • Publication number: 20220383978
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of generating a new trait converted elite cultivar through a method of breeding. For instance, the method involves the use of parent plants, which are respectively the traited variant of the parents of the non-traited elite cultivar and estimating a minimum population size necessary to generate a progeny plant comprising the desired trait and sharing a sufficiently high identity by descent with the non-traited elite cultivar to ensure replication and equivalency of general performance. The present method may be used to generate an elite cultivar in fewer generations, thereby accelerating new line production, and reducing costs. The present method may also be used to generate non-traited variants of traited lines.

  • Publication number: 20220254447
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for trait introgression involving crossing a donor plant comprising a trait of interest to an intermediate recurrent parent plant followed by crossing of the intermediate recurrent parent plant to one or more recipient parent plants. The present method may be used to introgression a desired trait of interest into the genome of an elite cultivar in fewer backcross generations, thereby accelerating new line production and reducing costs.
