To ensure there is enough genetic diversity of breeding lines being advanced in my breeding program
Knowing the level of endogamy of the program
Planning crosses (wide or narrow divergence)
A constant concern is narrow genetic base of breeding programs. This tool allows knowing the degree of genotypes kinship to make better decisions for our germplasm management.
