Liquorice (confectionery) Liquorice (British English) or licorice (American English) is a confection usually flavoured with the extract of the roots of the liquorice plant "Glycyrrhiza glabra".

Selection methods in plant breeding based on mode of reproduction species where normal mode of seed set is through a high degree of cross-pollination have characteristic reproductive features and population structure. Existence of self-sterility, self-incompatibility, imperfect flowers, and mechanical obstructions make the plant dependent upon foreign pollen for normal seed set. Each plant receives a blend of pollen from a large number of individuals each having different genotypes. Such populations are characterized by a high degree of heterozygosity with tremendous free and potential genetic variation, which is maintained in a steady state by free gene flow among individuals within the populations. In the development of hybrid varieties, the aim is
