Plant breeding: Plant breeding is the purposeful manipulation of plant species in order to create desired genotypes and phenotypes for particular purposes, such as food production, forestry, and horticulture. Breeders have tried to introduce, into crop plants, traits that will increase the ... [100%] 2023-06-14
Plant breeding: Plant breeding is the science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics. It has been used to improve the quality of nutrition in products for humans and animals. (Humans changing traits, ornamental/crops) [100%] 2024-02-19 [Plant breeding] [Agronomy]...
Classical plant breeding: Classical plant breeding uses deliberate interbreeding (crossing) of closely or distantly related species to produce new crops with desirable properties. Plants are crossed to introduce traits/genes from a particular variety into a new genetic background. (Earth) [81%] 2023-09-16 [Agronomy] [Botany]...

Biotechnology and plant breeding: Genetic modification of plants is achieved by adding a specific gene or genes to a plant, or by knocking out the expressing of a gene with RNAi, to produce a desirable phenotype. The plants resulting from adding a gene are ... (Earth) [70%] 2023-09-28 [Agronomy] [Botany]...
Biotechnology and plant breeding: The discovery around 1975 of methods to directly change DNA - usually called genetic engineering, and of ways to decode DNA sequences - usually referred to as DNA sequencing - ushered in a revolution in the biological sciences which is continuing, seemingly unabated ...
