Selfing

As selfing one understands the inbreeding of monoecious plants by artificial self-pollination to produce inbred lines . The repeated selfing also in the following generations aims at the purity and is the prerequisite for the heterosis effect in the breeding of plant hybrids such as Blizzard maize .
