Improved molecular breeding methods include a method in which an association data set is developed by associating the phenotypes of a broad population of individuals with the individual genotypes. The association data set is used in conjunction with a growth model in order to select breeding pairs likely to generate offspring with one or more desirable traits.

Molecular breeding methods

Methods to improve drought tolerance and increasing yield by the application limited transpiration trait in maize plants are provided. Expression of the limited transpiration trait in maize under increasing vapor pressure deficit conditions provide positive impact on overall crop yield, depending on environmental conditions.
