What is used to improve the phenotype of plants?

Plant breeding techniques such as hybridization, selection, and genetic engineering are used to improve the phenotype of plants. These methods help enhance desirable traits such as yield, disease resistance, and quality, leading to the development of improved plant varieties.


How are plants made resistant to pests?

The different methods of plant breeding for disease resistance includes seed selection, pedigree selection,recurrent selection,use of natural or artificial induced mutants etc.


What is pure line selection?

Pure line selection involves choosing and breeding individuals within a population that display desirable traits to establish a genetically homogenous line that consistently exhibits those traits. This method is commonly used in plant and animal breeding to develop stable and uniform varieties with specific characteristics.


What is Plants breeding positives negatives selection?

Either positive or negative traits could be selected for in nature, although selection for negative traits is extremely rare. A good example of positive selection at a rapid pace can be seen in antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Negative selection usually occurs in domesticated plants and animals. Let's say you have a very tasty strain of tomatoes. Instead of keeping some so you have seeds for next year you eat, sell or can all of them. This leaves you with no seeds, therefore you've selected out the positive traits of that particular plant. I think this is what you are referring to.


Who is called the father of plant breeding?

Gregor Mendel is often referred to as the father of plant breeding. He is known for his work studying inheritance in pea plants and developing the principles of genetic inheritance. Mendel's discoveries laid the foundation for modern plant breeding techniques.

What is mass selection in plant breeding?

Mass selection is a breeding method where desired traits are selected based on the overall phenotype of the plants rather than individual performance. It involves selecting and propagating plants with desirable traits from a population to improve the overall genetic makeup of future generations. Over time, this can lead to the enhancement of certain traits within a population.


What does plant breeding and hybridization mean?

plant breeding means the process of producing new varieties of plants through selection and cultivation. hybridization means the union of the male gametes from a particular species with the female gamete belonging to another species to produce a new zygote. by Gougin chongloi


Which process is common practice that has been used by farmers for hundreds of years to develop new plant and animal varieties?

Breeding, normally through a process of selection
