In this workshop, we introduce a unique new plant breeding decision support software tool DeltaGen (freeware), implemented in R and its package Shiny. DeltaGen provides plant breeders with a single integrated solution for experimental design generation, data quality control, statistical and quantitative genetic analyses, breeding strategy evaluation, simulation, and cost analysis, pattern analysis, index selection, and underlying basic theory on quantitative genetics. This software tool could also be used as a teaching resource in plant breeding courses.

Participation at the workshop is free of charge but registration is required (during conference registration process).
