Question

Breeding a crop variety involves several activities. Arrange the steps of a plant breeding program in correct chronological order-
(A). Selection of superior recombinants
(B). Collection, evaluation, and selection of diverse genotypes for hybridization
(C). Hybridization among selected parental genotypes
(D). Multilocational testing and release of a variety for commercial release
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (B), (C), (A), (D).
• B. (D), (B), (C), (A).
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C).
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A).

Hint:

Always start a breeding program by establishing genetic diversity (germplasm collection) and end it with multi-locational testing and commercial release.
This simplifies identifying the correct sequence in multi-step questions.
