Breeding designs on the intercross mating scheme ℳ_I in MAGIC populations with N_F = 8, ℳ_F = RM1-NE, and ℳ_II = selfing. The intercross population size N_I = 8 in the left column and N_I =100 in the right column. The simulation results are denoted by integer markers for ℳ_I = (1) RM1-NE, (2) RM2-NE, (3) RM1-E, (4) RM2-E, (5) WF-NE, (6) CPM-E, and (7) MAI-E, respectively. The solid lines represent the theoretical results for the random intercross schemes, and dashed lines connect simulation results for the regular schemes (6) CPM-E and (7) MAI-E to guide one’s eyes. The blue color is for (1) RM1-NE and (3) RM1-E, red is for (2) RM2-NE and (4) RM2-E, cyan is for (5) WF-NE, and gray is for (6) CPM-E and (7) MAI-E.
