A
Collection of germplasm→ Evaluation of germplasm and selection of parents→ Selection and testing of superior recombinants → Testing, release and commercialization of new cultivars → Cross hybridization among the selected parents
B
Collection of germplasm→ Evaluation of germplasm and selection of parents→ Cross hybridisation among the selected parents→ Testing, release and commercialisation of new cultivars → Selection and testing of superior recombinants
C
Collection of germplasm→ Evaluation of germplasm and selection of parents→ Selection and testing of superior recombinants → Cross hybridisation among the selected parents → Testing, release and commercialisation of new cultivars
D
Collection of germplasm→ Evaluation of germplasm and selection of parents→ Cross hybridisation among the selected parents→ Selection and testing of superior recombinants→ Testing, release and commercialisation of new cultivars
Solution:
The main steps in breeding a new genetic variety of a crop are:
Collection of germplasm→ Evaluation of germplasm and selection of parents→ Cross hybridisation among the selected parents→ Selection and testing of superior recombinants→ Testing, release and commercialisation of new cultivars.
