Plant breeding is the science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics. [1] It is used to improve the quality of plant products for use by humans and animals. [2] The goals of plant breeding are to produce crop varieties that boast unique and superior traits for a variety of applications.
The European Association for Research on Plant Breeding, Europäische Gesellschaft für Züchtungsforschung, Association Européenne pour l'Amélioration des Plantes, Asociación Europea para el Mejoramiento de las Plantas, (in short EUCARPIA) is a non-profit organisation which promotes international scientific and technical research in the area of plant breeding in order to encourage its ...
Self-fertilization, where pollen from a plant will fertilise reproductive cells or ovules of the same plant; Cross-pollination, where pollen from one plant can only fertilize a different plant; Asexual propagation (e.g. runners from strawberry plants) where the new plant is genetically identical to its parent
While Hybridization and breeding methods have produced successful crop species, declining yield is a major challenge. [editorializing] Thus, further research is needed for leveraging hybridization in perennial crop systems to produce sustainable and high yielding crops.
Plant Biology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of plant biology. The journal was originally established as Berichte der Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft in 1883, changed its name to Botanica Acta in 1988. In 1999, the journal renamed itself Plant Biology, and restarted the volume numbering.
Plant breeders also manipulate their subjects to hybridize in order to optimize their hardiness, appearance, or whatever desired traits they want to select for. [1] This type of hybridization has been particularly impactful for the production of many crop species, including but not limited to: certain types of rice, corn, wheat, barley, and rye.
