Question

what is conventional breeding ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Conventional breeding achieves it by crossing together plants with relevant characteristics, and selecting the offspring with the desired combination of characteristics, as a result of particular combinations of genes inherited from the two parents.

Answer 2

Answer:

Conventional plant breeding is the development or improvement of cultivars using conservative tools for manipulating plant genome within the natural genetic boundaries of the species. Mendel's work in genetics ushered in the scientific age of plant breeding. The number of genes that control the trait of interest is important to breeders. Qualitative traits (controlled by one or a few genes) are easier to breed than quantitative traits (controlled by numerous genes). General steps in breeding are: objectives, creation/assembly of variability, selection, evaluation and cultivar release. Breeders use methods and techniques that are based on the mode of reproduction of the species self-pollinating, cross-pollinating, or clonally propagated. The general strategy is to breed a cultivar whose genetic purity and productivity can be sustained by its natural mating system. There are six basic types of cultivars: pure line, open-pollinated, hybrid, clonal, apomictic and multilines.
