Response to early generation selection for yield and its components in barley crosses [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Considerable improvements of barley genotypes with higher yield have been achieved with different breeding methods. The objectives of this research were to compare the response to direct early generation selection for grain yield per se and indirect selection via Its components using Fasoulas, 1973 honeycomb design to select F₂ plants in three barley crosses. Two systems for response to selection were evaluated; Individual selection in F₂ plants with response in F₃ and line selection in F₃ with response in F₄. A selection intensity of 5% was imposed for each of high and low expressions of each trait among F₂ plants and F₃ lines.
