Narrative

Recurrent mass selection: In 1990, twenty three apparently rust resistant plants were identified in a commercial field of 'Felix' at Leeton, NSW. Selections were transferred to a nursery at Lake Bathurst, NSW and allowed to cross pollinate within the selected population. Seed was harvested from individual plants at maturity. Twenty plant progenies of each of the selected plants were grown in rows at Bordertown, South Australia in 1991-92. After a severe rust attack 127 plants were selected on rust resistance. These were the most rust-resistant plants from the most rust-resistant families. Open pollinated seed was harvested from individual plants at maturity. From the 127 lines, 100 were selected on seed yield associated with early maturity. The 100 elite selections were represented by 50 plants in a nursery at Bordertown in 1992-93. After a severe rust attack which killed susceptible plants, seed was harvested in bulk. This constitutes breeders seed. Selection criteria: rust resistance, early maturity and seed yield. Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Dr. Ross Downes, ACT.
