Plant breeding methodology

Abstract

Part 1 Introductory topics: introduction to methodology genetic engineering and the future. Part 2 Breeding and selection methods: primary methods shaped by historical usage - a preamble the mass selection method pedigree and f+d2-derived family methods backcross method methods shaped by competitive forces the multiblend variety the multiline method methods shaped by recurrent forces the recurrent selection method diallel selective mating method genetic male sterility male sterile facilitated recurrent selection method methods shaped by requirements of techniques heterosis and commercial hybrids the single seed descent method doubled haploid method. Part 3 Breeding and selection strategies: issues in selection - a preamble visual selection selection indices harvest index stability. Part 4 Germ plasm and crossing considerations: germ plasm choosing cross quality level predicting and choosing parents predicting and choosing crosses and lines hybridizing or crossing techniques. Part 5 Plant traits of special relevance: seed characteristics morphological and other traits. Part 6 Project management: the four stages of plant breeding minimum staff plant breeding choosing sites and environments field organization and operations 101 ways to enrich your breeding program.
