What Is It
Plant breeding is the manipulation of plant species to create desired properties (genotypes) for specific purposes. The process involves interbreeding of individual plant species through controlled pollination, genetic engineering and finally the selection. Plant breeders are constantly involved with developing improved varieties of plants in relation to size, quality, yield and resistence to disease.
Qualification
BSc. with biology or Agriclture followed by MSc. or PhD in Plant breeding.
Scope
Plant breeders have ample growth opportunities in Agricultural research organizations, Government as well as private universities.
