- Definition "type of plant breeding where only the promising “lines” (progeny) are maintained and multiplied" Reference Correspondance with DG SANCO, dated 12.4.2013
- Comment "These lines are assessed for all kinds of properties and may be tested for certain characteristics. Only the best lines are finally maintained and marketed.Not to be confused with genetic selection which applies only to clones (i.e. asexually propagated material), while varietal selection can apply both to sexually and asexually propagated material."
