Inbred Development

Rapid Inbreeding® (RI) develops corn inbred lines in just one year. While traditional methods require 4-5 generations of selfing to achieve a reliable level of homozygosity before test crossing, PSR’s Rapid Inbreeding® accomplishes this in just three months. This accelerated process allows for quick test cross data collection and rapid yield improvement within populations.
 
PSR's system identifies inbred plants within segregating populations. Our Rapid Inbreeding® (RI) program leverages this capability to produce thousands of inbred lines each year.
​
RI Advantage:
•  Quickly produces inbreds at low cost.
•  Test cross in less than one year.
•  Fast cycling of yield improvement within populations.
•  Shortens time to hybrid commercialization.
