Rice breeding is the science of developing improved rice varieties through selective crossing, genetic analysis, and trait optimization to enhance yield, disease resistance, and climate adaptability. As the primary food source for billions of people, advances in rice breeding directly impact global food security, making it a central focus of plant genetics and crop improvement research.
