Abstract
The value of gamete or mother plant selection to stabilize the varietal performances is well known.
However, among a group of selected families of different reaction norms, the construction of a synthetic variety through scientific knowledge with the general combining from random mating in the means of yield components seem very important.
Therefore, selfed as well as open seeds in the fifth inbred generation as well as alternate open generations of four selected caraway families were sown in an incomplete randomized blocks design with local controls of the base population.
The major essential oil yield components were compared relative to the mating system and nature of gene action through variance and parents as well as progeny regressions on a generalized "median index".
