Quantitative Genetics is Used in The Breeding of Autogamous Plants

Shiwani P

With the increasing demand for food, it is necessary to use alternative methods and solutions that increase the efficiency of inbreeding. The use of quantitative genetics plays an important role in this, especially when pedigree methods are used in inbreeding plants. This study proposes to inform the progeny relationship using the best unbiased linear predictor to obtain breeding values with higher accuracy and thus, increase genetic benefit from selection. One proposed strategy is to speed up the program of collecting purebred perennials and to use as much information as possible in the selection process to achieve maximum accuracy. In this way, it is possible to produce better hybrid lines than existing lines, with a higher frequency, to meet agro-industrial needs related to perennial crop production.
