Plant improvement has shifted its focus from yield, quality and
disease resistance to factors that will enhance commerical export,
such as early maturity, shelf life and better processing quality.
Conventional plant breeding methods aiming at the improvement of a
self-pollinating crop, such as wheat, usually take 10-12 years to
develop and release of the new variety. During the past 10 years,
significant advances have been made and accelerated methods have
been developed for precision breeding and early release of crop
varieties. This work summarizes concepts dealing with germplasm
enhancement and development of improved varieties based on
innovative methodologies that include doubled haploidy, marker
assisted selection, marker assisted background selection, genetic
mapping, genomic selection, high-throughput genotyping,
high-throughput phenotyping, mutation breeding, reverse breeding,
transgenic breeding, shuttle breeding, speed breeding, low cost
high-throughput field phenotyping, etc. It is an important
reference with special focus on accelerated development of improved
crop varieties.
