Plant breeding

To help educate people about the many methods that are used to generate new traits in plants, Biology Fortified has created an infographic on six different crop modification techniques, with exampl…

True-breeding plants are organisms with genetic structures that decide how they produce offspring with the same traits.

Breeding companies look to strengthen their competitive advantage, easing the way for growers to procure new plant varieties and for consumers to grow with confidence.

Farmers, first of all, are breeders. They might not have the lab coats that have come to define modern plant breeding, but their wisdom, knowledge and contribution is unquestionable. To be able to continue breeding, using their own seed, is their first right, their first freedom and their first duty. This right has been recognised in India’s Plant Variety Protection and Farmers Rights Act

Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life including reproduction in plants. Each individual organism exists as a result of reproduction.

Why do scientists say that genetic engineering of crops is just the "latest chapter" in 10,000 years of high-tech agriculture? Or that genetic engineering is just a more precise way to breed plants compared to conventional breeding? Plants swap genes even without the help of human beings when they reproduce sexually, and [...]
