Generative Methods for Inbreeding Crops
| METHN | MTYPE | MGRP | MCODE | MNAME | MDESC | MREF | MPRGN | MFPRG | MATTR | GENEQ | MUID | LMID | MDATE |
| 101 | GEN | S | C2W | SINGLE CROSS | Cross between two single plants. If both parents are fixed (pure) inbred lines there will be no segregation for gametes or genotypes and theoretically all crosses will result in the same genetic outcome. In plant breeding practice the theoretical situation is rarely encountered. In spite of this the usual practice is to bulk the seed. However, iIn genetical studies it is often necessary to keep individual seed separate. When this is done a separate entry in the germplasm table is required for each entity (seed) kept separate. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 19980610 | |
| 102 | GEN | S | C3W | THREE-WAY CROSS | Cross between two plants, one an inbred line and one a single cross (usually an F1) and thus segregating for gametes. In the theoretical case, rarely achieved, the inbred line would be fixed and the F1 a cross between fixed lines. The segregation for gametes results in different genetic outcomes among different progeny, hence a number of crosses using the same F1 is usually made. Since different F1 s are genetically the same (theoretically) only one F1 is required. In plant breeding programs the different crosses are usually bulked. Again, if individual seeds are kept separate a different entry is required in the germplasm table. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 19980610 | |
| 103 | GEN | S | CDB | DOUBLE CROSS | Cross between two single crosses (usually two F1s) and hence both segregating for gametes. The comments for method 102 apply but now for both female and male sides of the cross. Again, if individual seeds are kept separate a different entry is required in the germplasm table. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 8 | 19980610 | |
| 104 | GEN | S | CFT | FEMALE COMPLEX TOP CROSS | Cross between a female inbred line and a three-way or more complex cross among inbred lines, thus the male is segregating for genotypes as well as gametes. A consequence of the genotypic segregation is that selection can, and is usually made among the plants used as male parents. A consequence is that there will be genetic variation both within and between each cross. Usually all seed is bulked and selection practised among the progeny. A different entry is required in the germplasm table for each entity kept separate. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 19980610 | |
| 105 | GEN | S | CMT | MALE COMPLEX TOP CROSS | Cross between a male inbred line and a three-way or more complex cross among inbred lines, thus the female is segregating for genotypes as well as gametes. The same genetic consequences occur as for the previous complex cross except for the cytoplasm. This method is rarely if ever encountered in practice because of the difficulty of using many females. A different entry is required in the germplasm table for each entity kept separate. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 19980610 | |
| 106 | GEN | S | CCX | COMPLEX CROSS | Cross between two three-way or more complex crosses among pure lines, thus both sides are segregating for both gametes and genotypes. A different entry is required in the germplasm table for each entity kept separate. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 19980610 | |
| 107 | GEN | S | BC | BACKCROSS | Backcross to recover a specific gene. The coding in the genealogical table records which parent was used as the female in each cycle. A different entry is required in the germplasm table for each entity kept separate. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 6 | 19980610 | |
| 108 | GEN | S | BCR | BACKCROSS RECESSIVE | Backcross to recover a recessive gene. As this requires a self fertilisation (derivative method) in the process some ICIS administrators may distinguish this as a separate method. A different entry is required in the germplasm table for each entity kept separate. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 29 | 19980610 | |
| 109 | GEN | S | CIS | INTERSPECIFIC CROSS | Cross between two species. The problem with making this a separate method is that the species cross could be made by any of the previous (101-108) or following (110-113) methods. | 2 | 1 | 209 | 0 | 1 | 20 | 19980610 | |

| 111 | GEN | S | CRP | RANDOM POLLEN CROSS SF | A random bulk of pollen from some population used to pollinate a female pure line. Male is then a population and will be recorded as a single entity. | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 19980610 | |

| 155 | GEN | S | AUP | AUTO-POLYPLOID SF | Polyploid formed by doubling the chromosome number of a species. Lucerne (alfalfa) is an autopolyploid with 4 sets of the same genome. | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 19980610 | |

Maintenance Methods for Clonally Reproduced Species
Since all clonally propagated species used in agriculture will be either self or cross fertilised no specific generative or derivative methods are proposed for them. Users will select an appropriate set from the above depending on whether the species is self or cross fertilised.
