Abstract

Synopsis Inbreeding and random mating are considered in auto‐polyploids from the point of view of plant breeding. It is shown that the time factor in inbreeding can become very important especially when heterozygous genotypes are favored. Double reduction causes inbreeding whatever the mating system used so reducing the time to reach a given level of homozygosity.
