Plant Breeding –
an Overview
Objective 1: know basic plant
genetics and breeding
terminology
Gamete
A mature reproductive cell that is
specialized for sexual fusion
Haploid (n)
Containing only one set of
chromosomes (n). Each gamete
is haploid
Cross
A
mating
between
two
individuals, leading to the fusion
of gametes
Diploid (2n)
Two copies of each type of
chromosome in the nuclei,
formed by the fusion of two
gametes
Zygote
The cell produced by the fusion
of the male and female gametes
Gene
The inherited segment of
DNA that determines a
specific characteristic in
an organism
Locus
The specific place on the
chromosome where a gene
is located
Alleles
Alternative forms of a gene
Genotype
The genetic
constitution of an
organism
Homozygous
An individual whose
genetic constitution
has both alleles the
same for a given
gene locus (eg, AA)
Heterozygous
An individual whose
genetic constitution
has different alleles
for a given gene
locus (eg, Aa)
Homogeneous
A population of individuals having
the same genetic constitution (eg,
a field of pure-line soybean; a field
of hybrid corn)
Heterogeneous
A population of individuals having
different genetic constitutions
Phenotype
The physical manifestation of a
genetic trait that results from a
specific genotype and its
interaction with the environment
What is Plant Breeding?

The genetic adjustment of plants to the
service of humankind

Objective 2: know why plant
breeding is important and useful
Several examples in soybean
Why Plant Breeding
Increased global human population (shown here in billions of people)
will lead to increased demand for food, fiber and energy: improving
plant genetics is one tool

Objective 3: know the basic
principles of plant breeding
Importance of genetic variation
and selection
What are the causes of biological
variation observed in plants?
1. Genetic causes (mode of inheritance)
 single genes
 multiple genes
2. Environmental
3. GxE: the interaction between the
genotype of the plant and the
environment in which it grows
A plant breeder needs to:
be observant of phenotypic
differences among plants
 understand the genetics
 have the imagination to visualize final
product
 foresight to predict demand for future
plant products

Plant selections to improve plant traits
are made by assessing plant phenotypes

In plants, examples include:
 plant
height
 plant and leaf morphology
 biomass yield
 seed yield
 chemical composition of plant tissues and
seeds
Genetic variation: the basis for improvement
Phenotype vs. Genotype
P = G + E + (GxE)
P is called the phenotypic value, i.e., the
measurement associated with a particular
individual
G is genotypic value, the effect of the genotype
(averaged across all environments)
E is the effect of the environment (averaged
across all genotypes)
If we could measure P in all possible
environments and regard E as a
deviation, then the mean of E would be
The genotype responds more
zero and P = G.
strongly in some environments.
P1
Sets of environments tend to shift
E1
the trait value in one direction,
other environments in a different
direction.

Objective 4: know some basic
plant breeding methods and
strategies
How do we breed improved
crop cultivars?
1.Inheritance of trait
How complex is selection?
• Qualitative traits, simple
inheritance, controlled by
major genes
• Quantitative traits, complex
inheritance controlled be
several gene loci
Qualitative traits

Classified into discrete classes

Individuals in each class counted

Some environmental influence on
phenotype

Controlled by a few (<3) major genes

Often single gene traits
are easy to see or
measure, since
environment typically has
limited control over their
expression

F1 Hybrid Plants: 100% yellow
Gene and Genotype Frequencies
Example: Self pollinated diploid species
Upon selfing F2 population; 25% homozygous ‘YY’ will produce only ‘YY’
genotypes, and 25% homozygous ‘cc’ will produce only ‘yy’ genotypes. So
only ‘Yy’ will segregate to produce genotypes in proportion of 0.25 (YY):0.50:
(Yy):0.25(yy).
F2 population:

- Synthetic variety – heterogeneous

- Hybrid variety, if inbred
development is possible
No flowering/limited
flowering
• Clonal variety
• Hybrid
Cultivar development for self-pollinated species:
pedigree method
Germplasm
Cultivar, local or exotic
landraces, wild relatives
Hybridization
Parents are usually inbred
F1 Nursery, all
plants heterozygous
Homogeneous population if
parents were inbred
F2 Nursery, all
plants heterozygous
Every single plant is a
different genotype
F3: head rows
Select the best rows, select
best plant within selected rows,
proceed to F4 head rows
This is typical pedigree method of selection in self-pollinated crop. Each
head row is called line. Most F6 or F7 lines are uniform enough for
preliminary yield testing
Cultivar development for self-pollinated species: bulk
method
Germplasm
Cultivar, local or exotic
landraces, wild relatives
Hybridization
Parents are usually inbred
F1 Nursery, all
plants heterozygous
Homogeneous population if
parents were inbred
F2 population, all
plants heterozygous
Collect equal amount of
seed from each plant
F3: bulk population
Repeat one or two more
generation, then follow head
rows
This is bulk method of breeding self-pollinated crop. Most F6 or F7 lines
are uniform enough for preliminary yield testing. This is less resource
consuming.
Cultivar development for cross-pollinated
species: recurrent phenotypic selection
