In short, plant breeding is the manipulation of a biological system that requires many generations to achieve results which is a dynamic, exciting and challenging profession operating under continually changing conditions. Every treatment is randomly assigned once in every row and every column. Plant breeding is selection made possible by the existence of variability. V``�y�g0 F):s Plant breeders generally agree on the importance of a high yield stabihty, but there is less accord on the most appropriate definition of 'stability' and on methods to measure and to improve yield stabihty.The basic cause of differences between genotypes in their yield stability is the wide O'Ccurreoce of genotype-environment interactions (GE-interactions), i.e. Multi-environment models using marker-based kinship information for both additive and dominance effects can accurately predict hybrid performance in different environments. In this article two general ways are described in which plant breeders can engage in environmental issues: i) by breeding plants that are better adapted to environment and environmental stresses, producing more with less and where productivity can be maintained in the face of increasingly variable weather patterns and sub-optimal conditions, as well as pest and disease pressures; and ii) by breeding plants that can alter and “improve” … 33, 1180 Vienna, Austria ISBN 3-900962-56-1 0 Plant breeding is an artificial version of natural evolution, involving artificial selection of desired plant characteristics and artificial generation of genetic variation; it complements Additive genetic variation generally is of most interest to tall fescue breeders because typically it makes a proportionally greater contribution to genetic variation than other types of gene action and is more easily captured by the commonly used methods of developing tall fescue cultivars.

Traits can be classified as either qualitative, whereby variation occurs in discrete classes and often is controlled by one or a few genes, or quantitative, where variation is continuous and often is controlled by several genes, each having a minor effect.

Additive genetic variation, as estimated by general combining ability, has been found to be prominent in tall fescue for traits such as forage yield components (Volenec et al., 1984), seed yield components (Nguyen and Sleper, 1985), in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), detergent fiber parameters (Nguyen et al., 1982), and ozone resistance (Johnston et al., 1983). Urban) is an example of what is probably a qualitative trait in tall fescue (Barker et al., 2003), whereas quantitative traits would include seed yield, forage yield, persistence, and digestibility. Most geneticists today believe in accidental evolution caused by the accidental variations or mutations.

This variation is further complicated by the fact that not a ll genotypes react in similar ways to change Plant breeders generally are interested mostly in improving quantitative traits of tall fescue. Breeding for broad performance across environments is often justified by the assumption that year-to-year variation is large, and so each site-year represents a unique environment. Keywords: Epigenetic variation, DNA methylation, Selection, Plant breeding However, because genes do not function as single entities it is necessary to know how numerous genes function together. In plant breeding, phenotypic, genotypic and environmental coefficients of variation are estimated from corresponding variances. Narrow sense heritability is a measure of the ratio of additive genetic variation to phenotypic variation in a given population for a given trait. Cooper, M., DeLacy, I.H. Sorghum is an important hybrid crop that is grown extensively in many subtropical and tropical regions including Northern NSW and Queensland in Australia. Results demonstrate year-on-year variation to be the smallest source of yield variation in Illinois (1.8%, p < 0.001).

The challenge plant breeders face is to identify and select those plants that have genotypes conferring desirable phenotypes, rather than plants with favorable phenotypes due to environmental effects.

environmental variation in plant breeding

The phenotype of a plant is determined by its genetic composition, the environment in which the plant is grown, and the interaction of genotype with environment. Climate change is likely to alter the environmental conditions in many of the world's regions within a short period of time. Other types of genetic variation, including dominance and epistasis, appear to be of lesser importance in tall fescue, as indicated by lower levels of specific combining ability in these same studies. Environmental variation may be observed by growing the plants with similar genotypes under different environment. The coefficient of variation was evolved by Karl Pearson.
