The number and size of crosses in a breeding programme were discussed to the conclusion that the number of crosses rather than the size of a cross should be increased with a given total population size. The advantage due to this manipulation, however, is relatively small when such genotypes as impro
The relationship between plant size and vegetative reproduction in clonal plants appears complex because vegetative expansion, growth, and reproduction are not clearly separable in such plants. In 'pseudo-annuals', which are clonal plants surviving the winter only as seeds and hibernacles produced b
A system, using computers, that minimizes many of the clerical tasks associated with plant breeding trials is described. Their mode of operation and output lists are briefly given. The major computer programs used in the system are available from the authors.
Most previous studies on cross prediction methods have examined relatively few crosses, particularly in relation to the numbers involved in most breeding programmes. In this paper the feasibility of using cross prediction methods was examined in a practical potato (Solanum tuberosum) breeding scheme
