In sugarcane breeding the initial selection after hybridization is done in the generation

Solution (By Examveda Team)

In sugarcane breeding, the initial selection after hybridization is done in the F₁ generation.
The objectives of breeding and selection in plants are the modification of traits and at the same time, to take advantage of the natural genetic variation.
Hybridization in sugarcane is based on the crossing of populations among them, through the technique “plant to plant”, from which F₁ true seed (sexual seed) is obtained.
