Abstract
One of the important insights in plant breeding was heterosis, the observation that hybrid progeny (F1) typically is superior as favourable allele combination of elite heterozygote are lost in next generation due to segregation of traits. Easy preservation of heterozygous genotype is one of the greatest challenges in plant breeding. Hereby, a novel technique reverse breeding meets the challenges of fixation of complex heterozygous. Reverse Breeding generates perfectly complementing homozygous parental lines through engineered meiosis.
