About this document
Backcross Method in Plant Breeding by Sandeep Rana is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the backcross breeding method. It involves crossing a hybrid plant with one of its parents (the recurrent parent) and selecting progeny that are genetically similar to the recurrent parent except for specific desired traits from the other parent (the donor parent). The goal is to transfer one or two traits such as disease resistance from the donor parent while maintaining the characteristics of the adapted recurrent parent. Several generations of backcrossing are required to recover
