The present study was conducted to compare the efficiency of individual plant selection for resistance to bacterial wilt with 30 dihaploid lines derived by anther culture and Nicotiana africana method in Fl and F2 generation from a cross between Bright Yellow 4 (BY4) and NC95. F2 dihaploid lines were selected from bacterial wilt disease resistant plants screened under the naturally infested filed conditions. The populations of FB - ADH and FB MDH derived from F2 individual plants with bacterial wilt resistance showed higher resistance to the disease than the populations of Fl - ADH and Fl - MDH, respectively, and no difference for the disease resistance appeared by the haploid deriving method within a generation.
