A system control framework for the self-fertilization and selection process of breeding

Abstract The self-fertilization and selection process is the main method for speeding up the purifying course of a hybrid population in breeding. This is a complex combinatorial random process with large time delay. To raise the control effectiveness and efficiency of the process, we try, in this paper, to construct a mathematical model of the process by means of effective factors. Then, a control framework for the process is presented which can be used as a guide by breeders for helping them in selecting appropriate control actions.
