    Method of Plant Breeding in Cross Pollinated Plants

    Uploaded by

    Adita Nur Faoziyah
    This document summarizes methods of plant breeding in cross-pollinated plants, specifically selection with progeny testing. It describes the ear-to-row method developed by Hopkins, which involves selecting initial plants based on phenotype, growing progeny rows from these plants, and selecting superior progenies and plants within them for further breeding. While relatively simple, it allows inbreeding and inferior progenies to influence superior ones. The plant-to-row method developed by De Vilmorin is also outlined, where individual plants are harvested separately to establish genetic variability within progenies.

    Method of Plant Breeding in Cross Pollinated Plants Selection with

    Progeny Testing
    With Progeny Testing:
    In this method initial plants are selected on the basis of their phenotype, but the final
    selection of plant based on progeny test. This method includes progeny selection on ear to
    row method and recurrent selection.
    Progeny Selection (Ear to Row Method):
    Hopkins in 1908 developed this method, extensively used in maize. In its simplest form it
    consists of
    i) 50- 100 number of plants are selected on the basis of their phenotype and are allowed to
    open pollinate. The seeds from individual plants are harvested separately.
    ii) A single row of 10-50 plants i.e a progeny row, is grown from each selected plant. The
    progeny rows are evaluated for desirable character and superior are identified.
    iii) Several phenotypically superior plants are selected from the superior progenies and
    selected plants are permitted to open pollinate.
    iv) Small progeny rows are again grown from the selected plants, and the process of
    selection is repeated.
    This method is relatively simple and the selection cycle is of one year only. However, it
    suffers from the defect that the weak and inferior progenies pollinate plants in the superior
    progenies. This reduces the effectiveness of selection.
    Merits of Ear to Row Method:
    1) In this method the selection is based on the progeny test and not phenotype of individual
    plants, hence it is more efficient than mass selection in the identification of superior
    genotypes.
    2) Inbreeding may be avoided to certain extent by selecting sufficiently large number of
    progenies.
    3) It is simple and easy.
    Demerits Ear to Row Method:
    1) There is no control on pollination and plants are allowed to open pollinate, thus selection
    is based on maternal parent only. This reduces the efficiency of selection.
    2) Many progeny selection schemes are complicated and involve considerable work.
    3) The selection cycle is usually of the two years. Thus , time requirement for selection is
    twice as that of mass selection.
    Plant to Row Method:
    Louis De Vilmorin first used it for improvement of Sugarbeet. In this number of plants are
    selected and they are open pollinated and the individual plants are harvested separately.
    The progeny rows are grown from each selected plant and are evaluated for desirable
    character. The superior progenies are identified. Several similar plants are selected from the
    progenies and allowed to open pollinate thus selection process is repeated. This method
    helps to know the superiority of plants, whether due to environment or genetic variation.
    Similarly by growing progenies of 8 to 58 plants, range of genetic variability can be
    established. E. g Cotton, Jute, Sunflower and Castor, etc.
