Title A name given to the resource Crop improvement strategies and principles of selective breeding Description An account of the resource Introducing new crop varieties, crop improvement, and selective breeding enable contemporary agriculture to alleviate food poverty, increase crop production, and enhance product quality. This chapter covers selective breeding, genetically modified crops, genetic resource conservation, and upcoming technologies. Selective breeding discusses heritability, gene frequency, dominance, and epistasis to predict genetic progress. Agricultural innovation involves genetic variety and variation to develop robust and high-performing crop types. Mass selection, pedigree selection, and recurrent selection for trait enhancement are investigated. Marker-assisted and genomic selection are tested for breeding speed and accuracy. The chapter covers genetically modified crops, agricultural improvement, and genetic resource conservation for sustainable agriculture. Gene editing, synthetic biology, and machine learning may boost agricultural yields. According to the abstract, crop development and selective breeding are essential for food security, sustainability, climate change, and agricultural demands. 2024, IGI Global. All rights reserved.
