There exists a great amount of genetic diversity and of free as well as potential variability among and within the familial lines. Consequently, natural selection acting through heterozygote advantage and differential competing ability has often sufficient plasticity in the genetic composition to mo

The rust pathogens of cereals exist as populations of races that differ in their ability to attack various varieties. Varieties that are resistant when first released often become susceptible later due to the spread of previously undetected races but the time taken for this to occur in very variable
The available evidence indicates that F 1 hybrid varieties of most naturally self-fertilized crops have potentially great economic value . The main deterrent to their wider use is the present high cost of seed production . This can be greatly reduced by breeding into these crops systems for controll
## Broccoli (Bramica oleracea L. var. italica) progenies grown from seed obtained by greenhouse budpollination (BP), open-flower self-pollination (OS), open-flower seif-pollination with ether treatment of the stigma (OSE), and crosspollination (CP) were compared in the field. For plant height, pla
