Plant breeding

The process of creating new plant types using scientific means is called plant breeding, which is also known as cultivar development, crop improvement, and seed improvement. The technique of breeding involves producing genetically varied populations over several generations, then using human selection to hone adaptive plant features into new combinations to create plants that are highly attractive. The selection procedure is directed by biological assessment in pertinent target habitats in conjunction with genome and gene knowledge. The measure of progress is gain under selection, which depends on genetic variety, degree of selection, and time. Hybrids and novel plant types have been produced by plant breeders worldwide.

• Disease resistant plant
• Hybrids
• Crop productivity
• RDT in the race
