Impact of improved vegetable cultivars in overcoming food insecurity

2010-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Breeding is probably as old as agriculture itself. Early vegetable breeders developed landrace cultivars by selection of favorable variations in horticultural traits, yield and resistance to diseases and other problems. Later new breeding methods were developed, including hybridization techniques, culminating with the use of recently developed molecular tools, all leading to our modern improved vegetable cultivars...
