BIO.. Flashcards
involves subjecting two parent organisms to undergo
sexual reproduction to produce offspring
Breeding
is a central practice in agriculture and is continuously modified until the
present.
Plant breeding
The branch of agriculture that is
particularly harnessing various breeding techniques to influence the production of
animal-based products such as meat, dairy, and eggs is called
animal husbandry
Various breeding techniques are also practiced in the conservation of threatened or nearly extinct species. This effort is called
captive breeding

first archaeological evidence if crop domestication was found at
Tigris River
proposed that new types of plants can be produced by crossing them.
1694, Rudolph Camerarius
performed the first reported
hybridization, which involved sweet William and carnation.
1719, Thomas Fairchild
produced the first hybrid tobacco
1766, Joseph Koelreuter
- laid foundation to heredity of traits through his garden pea hybridization.
- published his work the hybridization of Pisum sativum
1866, Gregor Mendel
became the first seed company in the world
1926, Pioneer Hi-breed Corn Company
during the green revolution, he introduced cultivation practiced that boosted global production
1960, Norman Borlaug
introduced the method of introducing records of the performance if livestock
1760, Robert Bakewell
received a nobel prize for his work related to the breeding of fruit flies
1910, Thomas Hunt Morgan
the father of statistics, applied statistical methods in the breeding of mouse and livestock
1918, Ronald Fisher
proposed the use of genetic data in breeding than subjective evaluation of animal appearance
1937, Jay Lush
proposed the selection index theory where multiple traits of an animal must be considered for selection
1940, Lanoy Nelson Hazel
Classical Plant Breeding technique
- Selective Breeding
- Cross Breeding
is a modern technique in plant breeding which involves an
improved tissue-culture process
Somatic hybridization
This process tries to mimic the spontaneous generation of mutations in organisms.
Mutation Breeding
