Plant Breeding 6
Class 6
• Pureline selection
• Mass Selection
2. Selection on segregating generation
•Pedigree
•Bulk
•SSD
•Backcross
Backcrossing
• Mendelism?
Terminology
• Backcrossing
• Recipient parent
• Donor parent
• Recurrent parent
• Generation: BC1
: BC2
: BC3
…….
…….. BC1F1, BC1F2…….
Genetic basis
Backcrossing for transferring
dominant trait
Backcross method: recessive
trait/gene
Two concepts
• Homozygosity = 1-(1/2 )n
(2 -1)/ 2n
= n
• H0= 1-(1/2)n
/ BC
Generation
AA Aa AA Aa
P: AA X aa
F1: Aa X AA 0, 1 0 100
BC1: AA, Aa X AA ½, ½ 50 50
BC2: AA, Aa X AA ¾, ¼ 75 25
BC3: AA, Aa X AA 7/8 , 1/8 87.5 12.5
BC4: AA, Aa X AA 15/16, 1/16 93.75 6.25
BC5: AA, Aa X AA 31/32, 1/32 96.87 3.125
BC6: AA, Aa X AA 63/64, 1/64 98.5 1.5
Recovery of gene from recipient: actually allele
• Recovery = 1-(1/2)n+1
/ BC

Important points in backcrossing
• selection of recurrent /recipient parent
• Donor parent
• Traits under transfer
• No of backcrossing
Select/evaluate
• at what stage
• For which traits
Multiline: a breeding approach
• Resistance to disease, insect pest
• mixture of different pureline varieties
• DSMS
Population approach
• recombination
• Breaking linkage
• Superior new recombination
• Intermating selected F2
• Repeat in F3
• Then follow pedigree
DSMS
• Jensen
• Series of breeding programme
• Mega serial
Next
• Breeding for Cross pollinated crops
