Divergent parents


Divergent parents

    Identification of divergent parents:
    • A survey of the available germplasm is made for existing morphological diversity.
    • A preliminary survey can be carried out using a few DNA markers to identify divergent parents among the available lines.
    • It is advantageous to select parents which posses constricting traits of agronomic importance, so that genes for those traits can also be simultaneously localized on map
