In the milestones of plant breeding methods Genetic Engineering, Plant tissue culture, Protoplasmic fusion or somatic hybridisation, Molecular marking and DNA finger printing are some of the modern plant breeding tools used to improve the crop varieties.
NBT - New Breeding Techniques.
NBT are a collection of methods that could increase and accelerate the development of new traits in plant breeding. These techniques often involve genome editing, to modify DNA at specific locations within the plants to produce new traits in crop plants. The various methods of achieving these changes in traits include the following.
(i) Cutting an d modifying the genome during the repair process by tools like CRISPR/Cas.
(ii) Genome editing to introduce changes in few base pairs using a technique called Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis (ODM).
(iii) Transferring a gene from an identical or closely related species ( cisgenesis).
(iv) Organising processes that alter gene activity without altering the DNA itself( epigenetic methods).
