Plant breeders' rights (PBR), also known as plant variety rights (PVR), are rights granted in certain places to the breeder of a new variety of plant that give the breeder exclusive control over the propagating material (including seed, cuttings, divisions, tissue culture) and harvested material (cut flowers, fruit, foliage) of a new variety for a number of years.
Ernest Robert Sears (October 15, 1910, Bethel, Polk County, Oregon – February 15, 1991) was an American geneticist, botanist, pioneer of plant genetics, and leading expert on wheat cytogenetics. [1] Sears and Sir Ralph Riley (1924–1999) are perhaps the two most important founders of chromosome engineering [2] [3] in plant breeding. [4] [5]
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
The Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research was founded in Müncheberg, Germany in 1928 as part of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft. The founding director, Erwin Baur , initiated breeding programmes with fruits and berries, and basic research on Antirrhinum majus and the domestication of lupins .
Plants is a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal that covers various areas of plant biology, including cellular biology, molecular biology, genetics, and ecology. It is published by MDPI and was established in 2011. The editor-in-chief is Clive Dilantha Fernando (University of Manitoba).
