Genetic Breakthrough in Plant Breeding
The chapter explores a significant genetic breakthrough in plant breeding where proteins were used to prevent gene splitting, resulting in offspring inheriting 100% DNA from both parents, leading to substantial yield boosts. It discusses the application of this technology through examples like the weed plant rabbit ops and the concept of polyploidy in plants. The chapter highlights the potential benefits of enhanced potato breeding techniques, showcasing a remarkable increase in yield and disease resistance.
