Question

Select the option showing the correct sequential steps to produce a new genetic variety of a crop.

• A. Selection of parents $\to$ Hybridisation of selected parents $\to$ Germplasm collection $\to$ Selection of superior recombinants $\to$ Testing and relase of new varities
• B. Germplasm collection $\to$ Selection of parents $\to$ Hybridisation of selected parents $\to$ Selection of superior recombinats $\to$ Testing and relase of new varities
• C. Selection of superior recombinants $\to$ Germplasm collection $\to$ Hybridisation of selected parents $\to$ Selection of parents $\to$ Testing and relase of new varities
• D. Germplasm collection $\to$ Selection of parents $\to$ Hybridisation of selected parents $\to$ Testing and relase of new varities $\to$ Selection of superior recombinants.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Germplasm collection $\to$ Selection of parents $\to$ Hybridisation of selected parents $\to$ Selection of superior recombinats $\to$ Testing and relase of new varities

Steps to produce a new genetic variant of a crop. :

1. Collection of variability or Germplasm collection
2. Evaluation and selection of parents
3. Cross hybridisation among the selected parents
4. Selection and testing of superior recombinants
5. Testing, release and commercialisation of new cultivators

So, the correct option is 'Option B'.
