Though past achievements have been impressive, greater strides are expected in upgrading productivity through the development ofF hybrids and better mobiliza 1 tion of genetic diversity available in wild allies. Recent emphasis on cellular and molec ular biology will help to bypass sexual constraints for genetic enrichment of crop bras sicas, and to reduce the time frame for cultivar development.
