Inbred Development

Rapid Inbreeding® (RI) produces corn inbred lines in just one year. Instead of the 4-5 generations of selfing needed to reach a reliable level of homozygosity before test crossing, PSR’s Rapid Inbreeding® can do it in three months. The quick return of test cross data allows for fast cycling of yield improvement within populations.

PSR uses its proprietary SMF™ Technology to identify plants that are inbred within a segregating population. PSR’s Rapid Inbreeding® (RI) program is producing thousands of inbred lines every 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.
