The subject matter has been presented through fifteen chapters and three parts to clearly specify the different topics for convenience of the readers. The first introductory part briefly explains modes of reproduction in crop plants, types of improved seed, development of inbred lines, development of hybrids using A, B and R lines and variety release procedure.
