eeding methods have contributed to <strong>the</strong> genetic progress realized since <strong>the</strong> inbred-hybrid<br />

concept was proposed by Shull (1909). Both methods contribute to <strong>the</strong> develop <strong>of</strong> lines: line<br />

developed from recurrent selection programs are used in pedigree selection programs <strong>of</strong> elite-line<br />

crosses, and pedigree selection methods are used in developing lines from different cycles <strong>of</strong><br />

recurrent selection. Recurrent selection programs that are not an integral part <strong>of</strong> applied<br />

breeding programs probably, in most instances, will not have a direct impact on <strong>the</strong> applied<br />

breeding program. This can happen because <strong>the</strong> traits emphasized in recurrent selection .programs<br />

may not be <strong>the</strong> ones that are necessary in <strong>the</strong> applied breeding programs. If <strong>the</strong> same individuals<br />

are directly involved with both germplasm enhancement and development <strong>of</strong> lines and hybrids, a<br />

concerted and coordinated effort for genetic advance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> important traits necessary for a<br />

given area will be ensured. Gonducting recurrent selection programs without any coordination<br />

with <strong>the</strong> applied breeding programs will not be a fruitful endeavor.<br />
