The goal of plant improvement is to create superior plants from existing ones (higher yield, improved quality, resistance to abiotic and biotic stress). Ability of a particular trait to be manipulated is determined by environment and the genotype. Heritability is the one of the most important concept in the plant breeding heritability is the ratio … Read More “Plant Improvement.” »
Plant propagation is the creation of new plants from existing ones. There are two main types of plant propagation: asexual (vegetative propagation), sexual (seed propagation). Genetic control in propagation – in vegetative propagation plants are genetically similar to their parents. this does not improve the genetic diversity. In sexual propagation plants offspring plants are genetically … Read More “Plant Propagation.” »
