Study Notes
Plant Breeding Goals
- Increasing crop yields is a primary goal of plant breeding.
Traits in Plant Breeding
- Qualitative or quantitative traits in a plant are determined by its genes.
- Genes in a plant determine its characteristics, such as height, flower color, and seed shape.
Focus of Agricultural Traits
- The primary focus of the most frequently addressed agricultural traits in plant breeding is on yield, disease resistance, and pest resistance.
Techniques in Plant Breeding
- One technique used in plant breeding is genetic engineering, which makes use of knowledge of genetics and chromosomes.
- Hybridization is another technique used in plant breeding.
Plant Breeding Definition
- The science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics is known as plant breeding.
Crop Varieties
- The goal of plant breeding with respect to crop varieties is to produce varieties that are better adapted to their environment, more productive, and have improved quality.
