Inbred lines can capture and enhance the efficiency of heterosis breeding. Development of inbred lines in a perennial crop takes many years and requires experimental space.

Inbred lines are used in scientific research and breeding programs to study and manipulate specific traits or characteristics. By breeding closely related individuals over multiple generations, it helps to establish a stable genetic background and reduces genetic variability, allowing researchers to better understand the inheritance patterns of certain traits and conduct controlled experiments. Additionally, inbred lines can be used to develop hybrid varieties with improved performance and uniformity, as they provide a consistent genetic foundation for crossbreeding.
