F1 hybrid (also known as filial 1 hybrid) is the first filial generation of offspring of distinctly different parental types. [1] F1 hybrids are used in genetics, and in selective breeding, where the term F1 crossbreed may be used. The term is sometimes written with a subscript, as F 1 hybrid. [2] [3] Subsequent generations are called F 2, F 3 ...
"SunUp" is a transgenic red-fleshed Sunset papaya cultivar that is homozygous for the coat protein gene PRSV; "Rainbow" is a yellow-fleshed F1 hybrid developed by crossing 'SunUp' and nontransgenic yellow-fleshed "Kapoho". [106] The GM cultivar was approved in 1998 [107] and by 2010 80% of Hawaiian papaya was genetically engineered. [108]
[15] [16] And while Starmaya was a proof of concept for mass production of F1 hybrid seeds, the researchers also evaluated its ability to resist rust infection. [ 1 ] One of the parent plants used in the study, Marsellesa, was observed in the field to be 1% susceptible to rust and the Starmaya plant was observed to be 8% susceptible. [ 1 ]
Backcrossing is a crossing of a hybrid with one of its parents or an individual genetically similar to its parent, to achieve offspring with a genetic identity closer to that of the parent. It is used in horticulture, animal breeding, and production of gene knockout organisms.

International Fruit Genetics (IFG) is a private Bakersfield, California-based fruit breeding company that licenses patented breeds of fruit to growers worldwide. The largest breeder of table grapes has licensed one type of this fruit to Bakersfield-based grower Grapery, Cotton Candy .
The first-year team principal of Haas reiterated the Formula 1 team is not for sale even if new technical partner Toyota wanted to buy the organization. Ayao Komatsu dismissed the idea Friday at ...
World map of GMO agriculture (hectares) [1] The regulation of genetic engineering varies widely by country. Countries such as the United States, Canada, Lebanon and Egypt use substantial equivalence as the starting point when assessing safety, while many countries such as those in the European Union, Brazil and China authorize GMO cultivation on a case-by-case basis.
