*PRINCIPLES OF PLANT BREEDING* *Plant breeding*: It is an applied branch of botany dealing with improvement of agricultural crops. OR Frankel (1958) defined as Genetic adjustment of plants to the service of man. Contribution of Scientist Dr. T. Venkatraman: Father of Indian Plant Breeding. 1. Camerarius: Established the sex in plants for first time in 1694. 2. Thomas Fairchild: First artificial plant hybrid (1717) Sweet William x Carnation Hybrid famous as "Fairchild's Mule" 3. Joseph Koelreuter (1760-66): Systemic study of hybridization in Tobacco. 4. Thomas Knight: First man to use artifical hybridization in fruit crop. to develop several fruit Varieties. 5. Le Couteur & Patric Shireff (1840): Individual plant selection and progeny test to developed some useful cereal varieties. 6. Vilmorin (1856): Further developed Progeny Test in imporvement of sugarbeet. 7. Nilson& his associates: developed individual plant selection method. 8. Johanssen : Proposed the pure line theary for individual plant selection. 9. GH. Shull : He developed the single cross hybrid in maize for first time. 10. Donald Jones (1918) ldea of double cross. 11. Hayes & Garber (1919) : Suggest possibillty of utilization of synthetic varities in maize 12. Rhodes: recorded male sterlity in maize for first time (1933). 13. Davis (1927): Used "Top cross" tor first ime 14. Hul (1945): Sugessted recurrent selection. 15. Jenson (1952) Put fourth the idea of Multiline varieties. 16. Borlaug (1953): Developed Multiline varieties to control rust resistance in wheat. 17. Maheswari & Gunah (1964): Produce haploid plants 'invitro' from pollen grain of Datura 18. Yuvan long ping (1976): Male sterility in rice for the first time in China and produced firist hybrid rice in 1981, called as Father of Hybrid Rice.
