I found it "interesting" Princeton University references wiki http://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Plant_breeding.html
if you follow the see also links they reference these two wikis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_methods_in_plant_breeding_based_on_mode_of_reproduction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_breeding
I found a much more verbose resource that covers both facets for those interested
It is a text book so it talks in plain terms to teach the concept making it easier to digest
principles of plant genetics and breeding - complete textbook 584 pages pub 2007
(i suggest you download it as it is a pdf)
http://www.agri.ankara.edu.tr/fcrops/1289__BITKI_GENETIGI_VE_ISLAH.pdf
some more reading for the viewing audience
Estimating additive genetic variation and heritability of phenotypic traits
http://userwww.sfsu.edu/efc/classes/biol710/heritability/heritability.htm
quantitative genetics resources (smart site award tons of research material)
