Plant Breeding Shows Key Regulatory Circuits′ Main Genes

Abstract

Szilvia Kusza*

Plant breeding enhances the genetic potential of plants by applying theories from a number of sciences. To produce the next generation with the best traits, parental plants are combined in the procedure. By identifying the plants with the best potential based on performance data, pedigree, and more complex genetic information, breeders can improve their plants. Plants are enhanced for a number of human activities, including food, feed, fibre, fuel, shelter, landscaping, and ecosystem services. The ultimate shape of a plant and its capacity to react quickly to its surroundings are the result of numerous elements interacting inside intricate gene regulatory networks.
