The length of time needed for prebreeding in adapted x exotic maize (Zea mays L.) crosses has deterred breeders from exploiting exotic germplasm. My objective in this study was to determine, by simulation, the usefulness of genomewide selection for the rapid improvement of an adapted x exotic cross. I simulated F-2, BC1, and BC2 populations from an adapted x exotic maize cross. The adapted inbred had the favorable allele at L-Adapted = 50 quantitative trait loci (QTL), whereas the exotic inbred had the favorable allele at L-Exotic = 50, 25, 10, or 5 QTL. The joint effects of 512 markers were fitted by best linear unbiased prediction. For L-Exotic
