Learning Plant Breeding and Genetic Engineering on Green Leaf
Plant breeders’ ultimate aim is to create plant varieties with good agronomic characteristics. Traditional plant breeding, on the other hand, offers little to no assurance that any single gene combination will emerge from the millions of crosses produced. Since the genes of both parents are mixed together and re-assorted more or less arbitrarily in the offspring, undesirable genes can be passed alongside desirable genes; or, when one desirable gene is acquired, another is lost. Plant breeders are limited in their ability to develop because of these issues. Check the disclaimer on my profile and landing page. On the other hand, with the decades of experience and plant genetics expertise, it was said that these other companies could possibly impact the potential $100B global green leaf market by creating high-quality, proprietary plant lines within the next two years.

When all other options have been exhausted, such as when the trait to be added is not present in the crop’s germplasm; the trait is difficult to improve using traditional breeding methods; and it would take a long time to implement and/or improve such trait in the crop using conventional breeding methods, genetic engineering techniques are used. Transgenic crops, also known as genetically modified (GM) crops, are crops produced through genetic engineering. Modern plant breeding is a multidisciplinary and organized method that employs and integrates a wide range of methods and elements from traditional breeding techniques, bioinformatics, molecular genetics, molecular biology, and genetic engineering. Furthermore, I recently came with these other companies, it was said that they are focusing on developing technology that allows the increase or decrease in the level of nicotine and other nicotinic alkaloids in tobacco plants and levels of cannabinoids in cannabis plants through genetic engineering and plant breeding.

Commercial GM crops have benefited crop production so far, but there are a range of products in the works that will have a greater direct impact on food quality, environmental benefits, pharmaceutical production, and non-food crops.
