  • found it somewhere
    a) Nuclus seed: The initial hand full of seeds obtained from selected individual plants of a particular variety, for the purpose of purifying and maintain that variety, by originating plant breeder.
    b) Breeder's seed: Progeny of Nucleus seeds, its production is directly controlled by the originating or the sponsoring breeder or institution, providing for the initial and recurring increase of foundation seed.
    b) Foundation seed: The Progeny of breeders or foundation seed handled to maintain specific genetic purity and identity. This seed is the source of all other certified seed classes.
    d) Certified seed: The progeny of foundation or certified seed that is handled so as to maintain satisfactorily genetic identity and purity and that has been approved and certified by the certifying agency.

    Issue:- mismatch between the seed multiplication ratio from breeder seed to foundation seed and from foundation seed to certified seed, which needs to be addressed.
