They finally sold it! AGT will take the reins of the national lentil #breeding program. Although most of my career has focused on outbreeding species, one of my side quests was helping establish #genomic selection in this Lentil program back at Agriculture Victoria. Looking back, that was also where I first started experimenting with predictive breeding and multi-generation cross design and haploid values. Which is the hot new thing these days 😉
