Crop Variety Improvement Methods

Crop variety improvement can be achieved through hybridisation or gene introduction. Hybridisation involves crossing genetically dissimilar plants, which can occur at various levels such as intervarietal, interspecific, or intergeneric. Gene introduction leads to genetically modified crops with desired characteristics.

Crop Variety

Improvement
Crop variety improvement: It can be done either
by hybridisation or by introducing a gene. Crop
improvement by hybridisation: Hybridisation
refers to crossing between genetically dissimilar
plants. This crossing may be intervarietal
(between different varieties), interspecific
(between two different species of the same
genus) or intergeneric (between different
genera).Crop improvement by introducing a
gene: This provides the desired characteristics
and results in genetically modified crops.
