Abstract

This paper presents equations for expected genetic progress for interpopulation and intrapopulation breeding schemes for autotetraploid crops. Equations are developed for the change in the genotypic means of a single population, a hybrid of two populations, and a synthetic variety of two populations with a single cycle of selection as a function of population parameters and change in alíele frequency. Also, response equations are developed for changes in alíele frequency and genotypic population means with intrapopulation breeding schemes, and more difficult response equations are developed for changes in genotypic mean of a hybrid population or synthetic variety as a function of breeding method.
