Abstract
Crossing a winterline with a rapid-cycleline has been discovered to provide an unexpectedly simple and efficient way to create a modifiedwith a spring flowering habit. In one implementation, such a modifiedor its progeny is crossed with a second winterline to produce a plant having a winter flowering habit. This allows one to significantly shorten the development cycle for winter-floweringlines by conducting part of the breeding program with spring-flowering time cycles, then migrating the resultant germplasm back into a winter-flowering line.
