The present invention provides a method for generating a woody perennial breeding line, comprising: a) selecting one or more woody perennial plants comprising at least one allele associated with male sterility; b) selecting one or more woody perennial plants which are capable of hybridisation with the plant(s) selected in step (a) and which comprise at least one allele associated with at least one target inheritable trait; C) crossing the one or more plants selected in step (a) with the one or more plants selected in step (b); d) selecting progeny plants which have one or more desired traits and which comprise at least one allele associated with male sterility and at least one allele associated with the at least one target trait; e) selecting progeny plants which are homozygous for male sterility, which comprise at least one allele associated with the at least one target trait and which have one or more desired traits. Male sterile woody perennial breeding lines generated by the methods of the invention are also provided.

A method for generating a woody perennial breeding line, comprising:
A male sterile woody perennial plant breeding line comprising one or more target inheritable traits and one or more desired inheritable traits, generated by directed breeding to transfer male sterility from a woody perennial plant to a woody perennial plant having one or more desired inheritable traits.
A method for generating a woody perennial variety comprising one or more target inheritable traits and a desired set of inheritable traits, comprising crossing a first selected woody perennial plant variety with a desired set of inheritable traits, or a group of plants sharing a set of desired inheritable traits, with a second selected woody perennial plant which is homozygous for male sterility, and homozygous for one or more target traits.
