Molecular Breeding
Molecular breeding is a form of plant breeding that utilizes genetic markers to identify and select specific traits in plants. This method has revolutionized plant breeding and is used to develop crops with improved yields and increased resistance to pests, viruses, and other environmental stresses. The use of molecular techniques also allows for the transfer of beneficial traits from wild species to cultivated varieties. Molecular breeding can also facilitate the development of novel varieties with desirable traits not found in the wild, leading to an improved ability to meet current and future global food and fiber needs.
