Definition Plant breeding can be defined “as an art and science” and technology of improving the genetic make up of plants in relation to their economic use for the mankind. or Plant breeding is the art and science of improving the heredity of plants for the benefit of mankind. or Plant breeding deals with the genetic improvement of crop plants also known as science of crop improvement or Science of changing and improving the heredity of plants. Plant breeding is the art and science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics.

Aim Increased crop yield is the primary aim of most plant-breeding programs; advantages of the hybrids and new varieties developed include adaptation to new agricultural areas, greater resistance to disease and insects, greater yield of useful parts, better nutritional content of edible parts, and greater physiological efficiency. Other goals are adaptation of crops to modern production techniques such as mechanical harvesting and improvement in the market quality of the product. Plant breeding aims to improve the characteristics of plants so that they become more desirable agronomically and economically. The specific objectives may vary greatly

Objectives of Plant Breeding 1. Higher yield : The ultimate aim of plant breeding is to improve the yield of “economic produce on economic part”. It may be grain yield, fodder yield, fibre yield, tuber yield, cane yield or oil yield depending upon the crop species. Improvement in yield can be achieved either by evolving high yielding varieties or hybrids. 2. Improved quality: Quality of produce is another important objective in plant breeding. The quality characters vary from crop to crop. Eg. grain size, colour, milling and baking quality in wheat. Cooking quality in rice, malting quality in barley, colour and size of fruits, nutritive and keeping quality in vegetables, protein content in pulses, oil content in oilseeds, fibre length, strength and fineness in cotton.

Objectives of Plant Breeding 3. Abiotic resistance : Crop plants also suffer from abiotic factors such as drought, soil salinity, extreme temperatures, heat, wind, cold and frost, breeder has to develop resistant varieties for such environmental conditions. 4. Biotic resistance : Crop plants are attacked by various diseases and insects, resulting in considerable yield losses. Genetic resistance is the cheapest and the best method of minimizing such losses. Resistant varieties are developed through the use of resistant donor parents available in the gene pool.

Objectives of Plant Breeding 5. Change in maturity Duration / Earliness : Earliness is the most desirable character which has several advantages. It requires less crop management period, less insecticidal sprays, permits new crop rotations and often extends the crop area. 6. Determinate Growth : Development of varieties with determinate growth is desirable in crops like mung, pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), cotton (Gossypium sp.), etc. 7. Dormancy : In some crops, seeds germinate even before harvesting in the standing crop if there are rains at the time of maturity, e.g., greengram, blackgram, Barley and Pea, etc. A period of dormancy has to be introduced in these crops to check loss due to germination. In some other cases, however, it may be desirable to remove dormancy.

Objectives of Plant Breeding 8. Desirable Agronomic Characteristics: It includes plant height, branching, tillering capacity, growth habit, erect or trailing habit etc., is often desirable. For example, dwarfness in cereals is generally associated with lodging resistance and better fertilizer response. Tallness, high tillering and profuse branching are desirable characters in fodder crops. 9. Elimination of Toxic Substances : It is essential to develop varieties free from toxic compounds in some crops to make them safe for human consumption. For example, removal of neurotoxin in Khesari – lentil (Lathyruys sativus) which leads to paralysis of lower limbs, erucic acid from Brassica which is harmful for human health, and gossypol from the seed of cotton is necessary to make them fit for human consumption. Removal of such toxic substances would increase the nutritional value of these crops. 10. Non-shattering characteristics: The shattering of pods is serious problem in green gram. Hence resistance to shattering is an important objective in green gram.

Objectives of Plant Breeding 11. Synchronous Maturity : It refers to maturity of a crop species at one time. The character is highly desirable in crops like greengram, cowpea, castor and cotton where several pickings are required for crop harvest. 12. Photo and Thermo insensitivity: Development of varieties insensitive to light and temperature helps in crossing the cultivation boundaries of crop plants. Photo and thermo-insensitive varieties of wheat and rice has permitted their cultivation in new areas. Rice is now cultivated in Punjab, while wheat is a major rabi crop in West Bengal. 13. Wider adaptability: Adaptability refers to suitability of a variety for general cultivation over a wide range of environmental conditions. Adaptability is an important objective in plant breeding because it helps in stabilizing the crop production over regions and seasons. 14. Varieties for New Seasons: Traditionally maize is a kharif crop. But scientists are now able to grow maize as rabi and zaid crops. Similarly, mung is grown as a summer crop in addition to the main kharif crop.

Scope of plant breeding 1. Genetic manipulation of population by increasing the frequency of desirable alleles in cross pollinated crops and introducing male sterile in self pollinated crops like wheat and Rice. 2. Intensive breeding of pulses and oil seed crops as it was done in cereals and other crops. 3. Proper breeding methods with improved crop management practices. 4.Use of heritability methods with improved crop management practices. 5. Development of improved high yielding varieties of vegetable and seed crops. 6. Quality Improvement in Oil seed and Vegetables. 7. Use of transgenic plants as a medicine. E.g. Potato. 8. Development of varieties which are desirable for mechanical threshing and cultivation.
