Abstract

A tool capable of simulating the performance of a breeding strategy for a continuum of genetic models ranging from simple to complex, embedded within a large practical breeding program including marker-assisted-selection, had not been available until recently. In this chapter, the principles and applications of simulation modelling in plant breeding are introduced.
