How to Balance Gain, Diversity and Operational Constraints in Plant Breeding | MateSel

In this webinar, the MateSel team explore how breeding programmes can bring together multiple priorities — genetic gain, diversity, trait profiles, gene edits and operational constraints — within a single decision-making framework. The session demonstrates how MateSel supports breeders in designing balanced and efficient crossing plans, helping identify solutions that align with programme goals and reveal opportunities that may not be immediately obvious. Whether you’re aiming to optimise long-term gain, safeguard diversity, or manage complex trait profiles, this webinar offers a practical look at how MateSel can strengthen your breeding strategy. What you’ll learn: • How to balance competing breeding objectives • How diversity and gain can be co-managed effectively • How operational and logistical constraints can be incorporated • How MateSel proposes practical crossing solutions • Why MateSel goes beyond traditional OCS tools If you’d like to learn more about MateSel or discuss how it could support your breeding programme, visit: https://vsni.co.uk/software/matesel/
