molecular-breeding
Molecular breeding is the application of molecular biology tools—including marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, and genetic engineering—to improve desirable traits in plants at the DNA level. By linking genetic markers to traits of interest, breeders can select for complex characteristics with far greater precision and speed than traditional methods allow. This approach accelerates the development of crops and other plants with improved yield, stress tolerance, disease resistance, and other agronomically valuable properties.
