In the plant breeding programmes, the entire collection (of plants/ seeds) having all the diverse alleles for all genes a given crop is called
selection of superior recombinants
cross - hybridisation among the selected parents
evaluation and selection of parents
evaluation and selection of parents
D.
evaluation and selection of parents
It is called germplasm collection or the collection of variability. Selection of superior recombinants means selection of the best plant from the whole lot by visual examination and collecting their seeds for growing in the field. Cross-hybridization is the method of combining. The selection and evolution are the main steps of hybridization.
