Speed breeding: a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding
2017-07-09
Abstract excerpt
The growing human population and a changing environment have raised significant concern for global food security, with the current improvement rate of several important crops inadequate to meet future demand [1]. This slow improvement rate is attributed partly to the long generation times of crop plants. Here we present a method called ‘speed breeding’, which greatly shortens generation time and accelerates breedi...
