Molecular Breeding
Molecular breeding is a modern technique for crop improvement used to combine desirable traits from multiple sources and create new varieties with better yields and enhanced health benefits. It is a type of plant breeding in which desirable traits from multiple sources are combined to produce new varieties with increased productivity, pest resistance, disease resistance, climate adaptability and nutritional quality. The process relies on advanced biotechnology, which enables the movement of genes from one organism to another, allowing breeders to quickly create new varieties by combining beneficial traits. The technique is advantageous for farmers, as it eliminates the need for the tedious and time-consuming process of growing and selecting thousands of plants in search of the desired characteristics.
