Record 4 1992-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Plant and Crop Production
OBS

... the situation in which the population is changed en masse by the chosen selection procedure. The outcome is an improved population which is indefinitely propagable by random-mating within itself in isolation ... Population improvement methods fall naturally into two groups, those based on purely phenotypic selection (mass selection) and on selection with progeny testing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
  • Cultures (Agriculture)
OBS

une population peut être modifiée en masse par une méthode de sélection. Le résultat donne une population améliorée qui peut être multipliée indéfiniment par croisement au hasard entre les plantes.
