## Plant breeding textbooks do not even list the type of breeding daylily breeders do. We do something very similar to the line breeding of animal breeders, but that is not that same as what plant breeders call line breeding. And we definitely are not hybridizing, according to the modern sense of the word, even thought we often loosely call it that. | ## Plant breeding textbooks do not even list the type of breeding daylily breeders do.

## We are starkly ignorant of the genetics of daylilies, compared to the genetics of food crops. There are few well-characterized gene/allele based characteristics, and there is no table of which plants possess them or not. | ## We are starkly ignorant of the genetics of daylilies, compared to the genetics of food crops.
