The document discusses the pedigree selection method for plant breeding. It begins by explaining that the pedigree method was first outlined in 1927 and involves selecting individual plants from segregating generations and recording their progeny relationships until homozygosity is reached.
It then notes that a pedigree record details the relationships between selected plants and their progeny, and is helpful for determining genetic relatedness. The pedigree method is commonly used for self-pollinated crops to select for specific traits like disease resistance over multiple generations. While it is effective for simply inherited traits and faster than bulk methods, maintaining accurate pedigree records takes time and skill from breeders.
Quality refers to the suitability of a crop for its intended end use. Quality traits include morphological, organoleptic, nutritional, and biological characteristics. Morphological traits relate to appearance while organoleptic traits influence taste and aroma. Nutritional traits determine health value and biological traits define usefulness when consumed. Quality is governed by oligogenic, polygenic, or maternal inheritance. Sources of improved quality traits include cultivated varieties, germplasm, mutants, somaclonal variants, wild relatives, and transgenic sources.
The document discusses hybridization techniques in various cereal crops. It begins by explaining the basic concepts of hybridization, including inter-varietal and distant hybridization.

Three line system of hybrid seed productionmuruganjey
The document describes a three line system of hybrid seed production. It involves an A line that is male sterile, a B line that is fertile and maintains the same nucleus as the A line but with different cytoplasm, and an R line that can restore male fertility in the A line. When the A line is crossed with the B line, it produces a first generation hybrid that is heterozygous. The R line is then used to restore male fertility in the A line for large-scale seed production without needing extra parent lines. Key requirements for successful hybrid seed production using this system include selecting appropriate locations, seed fields, isolation, and cultural practices.
This document discusses two methods for producing hybrid rice: two-line and three-line breeding systems. The two-line system uses environmentally sensitive genetic male sterility (EGMS) or chemically induced male sterility (CIMS) to produce hybrid seed. EGMS lines are male sterile under certain temperature or photoperiod conditions. Two-line hybrids have advantages over three-line such as lower production costs and greater genetic diversity of parents. China has had success adopting two-line hybrid rice, which now covers over 2 million hectares. Further research aims to develop more stable EGMS lines and higher-yielding two-line hybrids with stress tolerance and quality traits.
The seed plot technique is used to produce healthy potato seed with low virus incidence. It involves selecting virus-free plants and storing their tubers separately to plant in isolated seed plots during periods of low aphid activity. This technique produces 2600 tons of breeder seed annually in India, saving $484 million by reducing seed imports. Studies show seed plot systems yield 6-15% higher than normal cultivation practices in Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia.

Exercise 2 emasculation and hybridization in maizeNugurusaichandan
This document discusses hybridization techniques in maize. It notes that maize is predominantly wind pollinated. The key hybridization techniques discussed are:
- Emasculation of the female plant by removing the tassel to prevent self-pollination.
- Bagging the female ear shoot and male tassel to collect pollen for cross-pollination.
- Dusting the collected pollen from the male parent onto the silks of the female ear after removing the bag, ensuring no contamination from other pollen sources. Proper labeling of the hybridization details is also important.
Isolation distance refers to the minimum separation required between crop varieties to maintain seed purity. There are three main types of isolation: spatial, temporal, and physical barriers. Spatial isolation involves separating fields by distance, with greater distances required for cross-pollinated crops versus self-pollinated crops. Temporal isolation is achieved by staggering planting dates of different varieties by 15-20 days. Physical barriers use border crops or bags to prevent cross-pollination. Factors like pollination method, pollen viability, disease pressure, and seed class influence isolation distance needs. Techniques like block planting, only collecting central seeds, and using barrier crops can reduce isolation distance requirements.
This document describes the ear to row method of plant breeding in cross-pollinated plants. The ear to row method involves selecting individual plants based on phenotype, allowing them to open pollinate, growing progeny rows from the seed of each plant, evaluating the progeny rows for desirable traits, selecting superior progenies, and repeating the process over multiple cycles of selection and progeny testing to improve the crop variety. It was developed by Hopkins in 1908 and is commonly used for maize breeding. The method allows for selection based on progeny performance rather than just plant phenotype.

Recurrent selection is a method of plant breeding that involves repeatedly selecting superior plants from a population, allowing them to interbreed, and then selecting again from the progeny. This cycles of selection and interbreeding serves to increase the frequency of desirable genes in the population over many generations. There are different types of recurrent selection, including simple recurrent selection based on phenotypes, recurrent selection for general combining ability using test crosses, and reciprocal recurrent selection to improve two populations simultaneously. Recurrent selection has been effective in improving traits with high heritability in several crops.
Hybrid seed production and two line production (1)Shweta Tiwari
The objective of any hybridization system is to enforce cross-pollination between inbred lines. Most crop plants are hermaphroditic, that is, possess male and female organs on the same flower, and, therefore, undergo some degree of self-pollination during flowering. To make hybrids, you must eliminate self-pollination on the female parent line and force pollination by the selected male parent. One way to do this is to make the female line male-sterile, which can be accomplished mechanically or genetically.
Recurrent selection is a plant breeding technique that involves repeated cycles of selection and intermating to improve quantitative traits in a population. There are several types including simple recurrent selection, recurrent selection for general combining ability, and recurrent selection for specific combining ability. Recurrent selection for specific combining ability uses homozygous testers to select for specific combining ability through multiple generations of testing cross performances, selecting best performers, and intermating selections. This allows for systematic accumulation of favorable alleles while maintaining genetic variation to continue making progress from selection.
Maintenance breeding is the branch of plant breeding that deals with producing and maintaining breeder seed to preserve the genetic purity and identity of plant varieties. It involves continuously producing fresh breeder seed through methods like growing isolated plots and bulk selection to remove off-types. Proper handling and roguing of the breeder seed crop is crucial. The breeder seed is then used to produce foundation seed while maintaining a carry-over stock to safeguard against losses. Maintenance breeding helps purify varieties and parental lines, prevent genetic deterioration, support quality seed production, and prolong the life of varieties.
Peas (Pisum sativum) are an important crop that originated in Southwest Asia and Northeast Africa. They are grown worldwide for their fresh pods and dry seeds, which are rich in nutrients. Peas have pink flowers with five sepals and five petals, including one standard, two wings, and two keel petals fused around the stamens and pistil. Self-pollination is most common due to the timing of stigma receptivity and pollen release. Cross-pollination requires emasculation of male parts and application of pollen from another plant.
Backcross method for dominant and recessive gene transfer.Pawan Nagar
This document discusses the backcross method for transferring dominant and recessive genes. The backcross method involves using a recurrent parent that lacks a desired trait and a donor parent that has the trait in order to transfer the trait to the recurrent parent over multiple generations. For dominant traits, backcrosses can be done sequentially, while for recessive traits, F2 generations must be grown after the first and subsequent backcrosses to identify plants with the recessive trait. The backcross method allows a trait to be transferred without significantly changing the genotype of the recurrent parent. Some examples of traits transferred through backcrossing include rust resistance in wheat and downy mildew resistance in pearl millet.
This document outlines the principles and methods of plant breeding. It discusses the impact of parents, quality of parents, objectives of breeding, breeding methods, and pedigree. The main methods covered are for cross-pollinated crops, including mass selection, progeny selection, and recurrent selection, and for self-pollinated crops, like mass selection, pure line selection, bulk method, and back-cross method. It also defines a pure line as the progeny of a single homozygous plant of a self-pollinated species.
1) Synthetic and composite varieties are developed in cross-pollinated crops by mixing seeds from multiple parental lines and allowing open-pollination.
2) Synthetic varieties are produced by evaluating parental lines for general combining ability and mixing seeds in a controlled manner, while composite varieties simply mix seeds without evaluating parental lines.
3) Both synthetic and composite varieties allow farmers to use saved seed for a few years and are maintained by open-pollination, providing more yield stability than hybrids.

- Okra is a flowering plant cultivated as an annual vegetable crop for its green seed pods. It is grown widely in India and other tropical regions.
- Hybrid seed production of okra involves emasculation of the male sterile parent followed by hand pollination with pollen from the male parent. Proper synchronization of flowering and a female to male ratio of 8:1 is required.
- Factors such as temperature, soil type, sowing time, seed rate, spacing, fertilizer use, irrigation and pest management must be optimized to produce high quality hybrid okra seeds. Proper isolation, roguing and inspection also help maintain seed purity and standards.
Androgenesis is the production of haploid plants through the culture of male gametophytes or microspores. There are two main methods - anther culture and isolated pollen/microspore culture. Anther culture involves excising anthers from flower buds and culturing them on nutrient media, while microspore culture isolates microspores from anthers. Several factors influence androgenesis success, including genotype, anther wall components, culture medium, growth regulators, and physical conditions. Androgenic haploids can develop directly from microspores or indirectly through a callus phase, following various developmental pathways. Androgenesis allows for the efficient production of haploid plants for breeding programs.

This document provides an overview of plant tissue culture and its applications. It discusses the history and development of plant tissue culture techniques. The key techniques covered are micropropagation, somatic cell genetics, transgenic plants, and the major steps of tissue culture including initiation, multiplication, and root formation phases. Different types of tissue culture are also described such as cell culture, callus culture, and protoplast culture. The applications of plant tissue culture discussed include clonal propagation, secondary metabolite production, genetic variability, somatic embryogenesis, haploid plant production, somatic hybridization, transgenic plants, and germplasm conservation. The document concludes by stating that plant tissue culture can be useful for human needs but must be performed cautiously.
This document discusses seed processing and storage. The objectives of seed processing are to improve quality by removing impurities, maintaining viability and vigor, making handling easier, and increasing value. Methods used for processing include drying, cleaning, grading, packaging, labeling, and treatment. Storage aims to preserve seeds under controlled conditions to prolong viability for long periods. Factors that affect seed longevity are seed type, quality, coat integrity, moisture content, and storage environment. Orthodox seeds can be stored long-term at low temperature and humidity while recalcitrant seeds require different storage methods.
Hybridization refers to the crossing of two individuals or plants with different genotypes. Thomas Fairchild produced the first artificial hybrid in 1717 by crossing sweet William and carnation. Mendel published his work on hybridization and inheritance in pea plants in 1866. The objectives of hybridization are to create genetic variability, combine desired traits from different varieties, make F1 hybrids useful, and improve quantitative traits. The process involves selecting parents, self-pollinating parents, emasculating flowers, bagging, collecting and storing pollen, cross-pollinating, labeling, and collecting hybrid seeds. Segregation and recombination in subsequent generations produce many new genotypes from the original cross.
India is the pioneer in commercial cotton hybrid cultivation, which covers over 50% of cotton area and yields 50% higher productivity than varieties. Hybrids have wider adaptability, higher resistance to stresses, and better fiber quality. They can be developed faster than varieties. Hybrid seed production in India is done through conventional hand emasculation and pollination or non-conventional male sterility-based methods. Conventional hybrids require identifying male and female parents and emasculating female parents before pollination. Male sterility-based hybrids eliminate emasculation since female parents produce no pollen. Proper agronomic practices like isolation distances, fertilizer use, plant protection measures are required for high quality hybrid seed production
The document discusses quality seed production techniques. It emphasizes that seed is the vital input for crop production and can contribute to 10-15% higher yields. Quality seed should have high genetic and physical purity, germinability, vigor and be free from pests and diseases. The document outlines differences between seed and grain, and factors to consider in seed production including agro-climatic conditions, isolation, seed treatment, nutrition, roguing, harvesting and post-harvest handling. It provides guidelines on seed production techniques for various crops like rice, maize, cotton, groundnut and sorghum.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

2. • SELFING: In selfing, pollination with pollen of the same flower or the
same plant is achieved.
• Objectives:
• To maintain the purity of a variety
• To increase the homozygosity
3. • CROSSING: In crossing, a flower is pollinated from the pollen of the
desired plant. In case of a bisexual flower, we need to avoid its own
pollen so that we can pollinate with the pollen from desired plant.
This is achieved by a process called as emasculation.
• Emasculation means removal of anthers or killing of the pollen grains
before anthesis so that the flower becomes only female and thus can
be crossed with any desired pollen. Crossing is done with the
following objectives:
• To introduce desirable characters of one variety into another variety.
• To enhance genetic variability.
• To exploit hybrid vigor or heterosis
