Understanding gene actions is critical to the success of plant breeding. It is used by breeders several ways:

 In the selection of parents used in crosses to create segregating populations in which selection is practiced.

 In the choice of the method of breeding used in crop improvement.

 In research applications to gain understanding of the breeding material by estimating genetic parameters.
