 Selection is the choosing of the best variety
 It can be natural or artificial
 Natural selection – selection which occur naturally
 Artificial selection – done by man made
 Important method in plant breeding
 Practiced in both homozygous and heterozygous population
 Effectiveness of selection depend on genetic variability of the base population &
hereditary
NATURAL SELECTION
 It is a natural process
 It operate without human interference
 According to the Darwin's principal “ survival of the fittest “ , plant which
survive through the adverse condition are preferred and the weekend one are
wiped out .thus nature select the fittest organism
ARTIFICAL SELECTION
 Here selection agent is man
 Man select better variety from mixed population and try to propagate them
 Four method :
A. Mass selection
B. Progeny selection
C. Pure line selection
D. Clonal selection
A. MASS SELECTION
 In mass selection plant are selected from a mixed population on the basis of
their phenotype
 Applicable to both self and cross pollinated species
 Selection done for easily observable character – plant height ,grain size ,grain
colour , disease resistance
 Plant are selected on the basis – phenotype
 The population obtained from the selected plants – uniform than the original
plants
 Two type :
 Negative mass selection – cutting out of all poorly developed ,less productive
inferior plant and remaining superior part are propagated
 Positive mass selection – only plant with desirable trait are propagated
 several plants are selected seeds are mixed
 So, the selected population would be the mixture of several similar looking pure
lines
 Variety developed through mass selection would have considerable genetic
variation
MERIT
 Simplest , easiest and quickest method of crop improvement
 No need of scientific knowledge
 Pollination do not required for producing new variety
 Applicable for both self and cross pollinated spieces
 Provide disease resistance crop
 They are more stable
DEMERIT
 Selection based on phenotype
 In cross pollinated crop , large no: of plant have to be selected for propagation ,
small sample will lead to the inbreeding depression
 Not applicable to self pollinated speices
 Importance given to character only
ACHEIVEMENTS
 Mass selection was extensively used by farmers and agriculturalist for the
improvement of self pollinated crop before pure line selection came into
practice
 Mass selection is routinely practice to maintain purity of pure line variety
 In india it is used in the development of improved varieties of cross pollinated
crop like maize , pearl millet and mustard
B.PROGENY SELECTION
 commonly used in cross pollinated crop
 Progeny selection can be defined as new individual organism that result from
the process of sexual and asexual reproduction
 This method extensively used in maize
MERIT
 method is simple and convenient
 Method more effective than mass selection because selection based on progeny
not on phenotype
 Inbreeding may be avoided if sufficient large number of progeny are selected
DEMERIT
 If the progeny of each plant is tested ,it would required large area which is not
practically possible
C.PURE LINE SELECTION
 Also known as individual plant selection
 In pure line selection a large no : of plants are selected from a self pollinated
crop and are harvested individually hence it is known as individual plant
selection
 Through pure line selection we can obtain single , homozygous , self pollinated
plant
 It has identical genotype
 It is non heritable
 Pure line selection procedure :
A. Selection of individual plant from a local variety
B. Visual evaluation of individual plant
C. Yield trails
D. Disease resistance and quality test are done
E. Best progeny release a new variety
F. Seed multiplication
G. Distribution
MERIT
 High yield
 Disease and insect resistance
 The variety developed by this method is uniform and more attractive than mass
selection
 Easy method
 Expensive is very low
 Easier than hybridization
DEMERIT
 It is very lengthy
 Heavy laboratory process
 Applicable only to self pollinated crop
 It cannot develop new genotype
 Adaptability to new environment condition is poor
ACHEIVEMENTS
 Wheat –NP4 , NP6 , NP12
 Rice - CO19 CO5 APS1
 Cotton – KC1
 Cabbage – pusa drum head
 Onion – pusa read punjal
 Papaya - CO1 , CO5
 Guava – arka mridula
D.CLONAL SELECTION
 A clone is a group of plant produced from a single plant through asexual
reproduction
 Selection of desirable clone from the mixed population is known as clonal
selection
 Asexual reproduction avoid segregation and recombination
 Progeny are identical to their parent
 All clones are genotipicaly and phenotipicaly similar
 Clones are stable as pure lines
 Procedure :
A. Clones are selected from mixed population
B. Selected plants are asexually propagated
C. Seed multiplication
D. Evaluation of seed for 3- 4 years
E. Thus release of a new variety
 This method take 9 -10 years
MERIT
 It is only method to improve the clonal crop
 Clonal propagated variety are highly stable
 Hybrid vigor is easily utilized
 It is also help to eliminate unproductive and undesirable types
DEMERIT
 In this method no genetic variability can be created
 This method only applicable to vegetatively propagated crops
ACHIEVEMENTS
 Potato – kufrl red
 Cavendish – bombay green
 Mango – niranjan
 Banana – high rate
 Tapioca – CO1
 Rose – edward rose , andhra rose
