The selection in cross-pollinated crops ultimately aims at:

1. selecting the most desirable pureline.
2. increasing the frequency of superior genotypes without reducing heterozygosity.
3. removing all true breeding varieties from the germplasm and hybridizing only heterozygous varieties.
4. converting purelines into apomicts to prevent segregation of desired traits.
