Abstract:
Crop breeding is the science of incorporating novel and the most desired traits within agricultural crops for the overall benefit of mankind. Crop breeding as a science is as old as the practice of agriculture itself. Since the initial stages of agriculture, farmers have taken up conventional methods of breeding in order to identify and select prominent and noteworthy varieties of crops that show desired traits and fetch high yields. However, with passage of time, environmental conditions have altered, and with it comes the change in agricultural sector itself. Sudden adverse effects have been observed in agricultural crops, due to both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Overcoming such stressful situations has become paramount and hence, scientists have started working towards improving crop breeding techniques that are able to produce better varieties in reduced amounts of time, with the help of modern biotechnology tools and techniques. This would enable incorporation of the desirable agronomic traits in crops and getting the maximum yield out of them as a result. Modern tools in plant molecular biology along with the concepts of conventional breeding can produce diverse plants, as will be discussed here with special reference to North East India’s scenario and concurrent worldwide developments made so far in Molecular Biology, which are pathbreaking as per the Futuristic Trends in Biotechnology.
