This is accomplished by creating various
methodology
...
In
unadulterated line determination, improvement of the assortment is exceptionally uniform with the
inclusion of a solitary plant
...
Unadulterated line choice is tedious concerning
the improvement of the assortment when contrasted and the mass choice (Samanthi R
...
In
the early twentieth century, Wilhelm Johannsen proposed his pure-line theory and the
genotype/phenotype distinction work that is prized as one of the most important founding
contributions to genetics and Mendelian plant breeding

...
Improvement of
new assortment through identification and confinement of single best plant descendants is known
as unadulterated line choice
...
So
Pure line is an enormous number of plants are chosen from self-pollinated crops and are gathered
exclusively
...
During the pure line selection process, a large quantity of selfpollinating crop plants is selected and harvested individually
...

Since this procedure involves a single crop variety, it is also referred to as individual plant
selection
...
Phenotypic differences present within the plants of pure line are
environmental and will not transfer to the next generation
...
Pure line plants can
be utilized in order to develop new varieties by hybridization
...
The pure line selection
mainly includes three steps; selection of plants (source of mixed population, evaluation of the
progeny and yield trials

...
nana to perform a series of experiments
...
The selection of a pure line corresponds to the process of separation of pure line of an
original mixed population
...
Individuals of a pure line have the same genotype
...
Due to the previous point, the selection within a pure line is not effective
...
Variations that appear within a pure line are due to environmental factors
...
Present day, all varieties of self-pollinated crops are pure-lines

History of Selection
The history of plant selection goes back to ancient times where it was practiced by the farmers
...
In the year 1843, Le coutier, a farmer
4

of island of New Jersey published his results on selection in wheat and he concluded that the
progenies from single plants were more uniform
...
In 1857, Hallet in
England, developed several commercial varieties by practicing single plant selection in wheat oats
and barley (Savitha, 2018)
...
This method was successful in sugar beet but not in other
cross-pollinated crops
...
The
basic steps in every breeding method is progeny testing (Savitha, 2018)
...
He conducted
experiment on the plant Phaseolus vulgaris which is a species that self-pollinates
...
Progenies of larger seeds produced
larger seeds and progenies from smaller seeds produced small seeds only
...
He studied nineteen lines altogether and
concluded that in market lot of the beans supplied are the mixture of pure lines
...

whatever variation observed within a line is due to environment factor only (Berry, 2014)
...
In line 13, which is having 450 mg seed
...

Ultimately, he got lines having weight ranging from 458 to 475
...
The second evidence was that selection with a pure line is ineffective
...

After six generations of selection, the line for large seed as well as for small seed gave progenies
having 680-690 mg and it did not change further
...
In third evidence, when parent-off spring regression was worked in line thirteen

only
...


Procedure for Pure line selection
First year

6
...
The single plant is selected and harvested separately and superior plants must be selected
from the mixed population
...


Second year
The individual progenies are grown separately with proper spacing
...
Poor, defective, weak and segregating progenies are discarded
...
This process may be repeated
...
So, they are
grown in unreplicated trial with check
...


Fourth year
Replicated yield trials are conducted using the best available check variety
...


Fifth to Eighth year
Promising strains are evaluated at several locations along with strains or check

Genetic variation is absent
...
Production of variety is highly uniform
...
All the plants within a pure-line have the same genotype

So, selection
within pure line is not effective
...
Pure lines become genetical
