Description New Breeding Technologies? For some, both inside and outside
the scientific community, this phrase is synonymous
with gene editing—or used exclusively to describe the
application of CRISPR/Cas9 to plant improvement. Much
as, historically, the term ‘biotech crops’ has been hijacked to
only mean crop plants produced using genetic engineering.
However, ‘breeding technologies’ refers not only to
genetic modification using techniques of molecular biology,
but also to a vast number of other techniques developed
for breeding via the application of scientific advancements
emanating from disciplines such as computer science, plant
biology, statistics, automation, robotics and artificial intelligence.
This concept is not new: in reality, technology has
been a feature of crop improvement since early in the last
century...
