Description
The genetic improvement of P.maximum for the seed production is based on two features : the number of spikelets and, especially, the number of every-day new panicles. With this purpose, we have set a topcross between an apomictic and four sexuals. The floral behavior is split into three independant factors and the heritabilities are estimated for this ones. This study has led to the choice of suitable methods of selection.
