Results for tag: "Molecular Breeding"

Molecular Breeding is a form of plant breeding that uses molecular markers to identify and select desirable traits in plants. It is a form of genomics-assisted breeding, which uses genetic information to improve the efficiency and accuracy of traditional plant breeding. Molecular Breeding is used to develop new varieties of crops that are more resistant to pests and diseases, have higher yields, and are more tolerant to environmental stresses. It is also used to develop varieties with improved nutritional content and improved flavor. Molecular Breeding is used in a variety of crop species, including cereals, vegetables, fruits, and oilseeds. It is used to develop varieties with improved traits, such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved yield. Molecular Breeding is also used to develop varieties with improved nutritional content, such as higher levels of vitamins and minerals. Companies in the Molecular Breeding market include Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont Pioneer, Bayer CropScience, and KWS SAAT. Show Less Read more
