Doubled haploid lines are increasingly used in practical breeding programs. Depending on the nature of the starting material as well as on the breeding aims, one or more haploid steps are recommended, and F1 hybrids or selfed progenies in later generations serve as starting material for the haploidi
The efficiency of early generation selection for yield and related characters in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) was studied in the F2, F3 and F4 generations. Twenty-five F2 progenies derived from various crosses were studied. In the F2 generation, number of capitula per plant (CNSP), number of
Traditionally, the selection and breeding of asexual crops starts with a population of many thousands of seedlings derived from many crosses. Heavy screening of clones in the first field trial, sometimes up to 90% of the population, is a routine practice. The extent of such early selection pressure
