Many plant breeding strategies lead to a reduction in the genetic variance of the source population. However, a sufficient genetic variance is essential for the long-term selection response. Hence, the aim of recurrent selection (RS) is a continuous increase in the frequencies of favorable alleles while maintaining genetic variability in the population. Several intrapopulation RS methods have been proposed in maize: e.g., mass selection, half-sib selection, full-sib (FS) selection, S1 selection. Among them, recurrent FS selection is characterized by a short cycle length, complete parental control, and a high selection response. The goal of this thesis was to investigate the changes in the population structure over several cycles of a modifi...
