This presentation provides an overview of the history, objectives, and achievements of plant breeding. It discusses how plant breeding has been practiced for thousands of years to improve crops for human benefit. The major activities of plant breeding include creating genetic variability, selecting elite varieties, testing genotypes, and distributing new varieties. Objectives include increasing yield, improving quality, eliminating toxins, and providing resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Some notable achievements highlighted are the development of semi-dwarf wheat varieties that enabled the Green Revolution and the identification of the dwarfing gene Dee Gee Woo Gen that revolutionized rice breeding. The future of plant breeding remains challenging but innovative techniques will help advance conventional methods.
Plant breeding methods of vegetatively propagated crops Roksana Aftab Ruhi
Vegetatively propagated crops are bred by intentionally crossing of closely or distantly related individual to produce new crop varieties or lines with desirable traits. Breeding of vegetative crops have successfully improved quality, yield, tolerance of crops to environmental pressure. Breeding helps in producing crops that are resistant to viruses, fungi and bacteria and helps in longer storage period for the harvested crop.
Self-incompatibility refers to the inability of a plant with functional pollen to set seeds when self pollinated. It is the failure of pollen from a flower to fertilize the same flower or other flowers of the same plant.
This presentation includes, Single-locus self-incompatibility- {Gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) and Sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI)},2-locus gametophytic self-incompatibility, Heteromorphic self-incompatibility,Cryptic self-incompatibility (CSI) and Late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI).

Mutagenesis is the process by which the genetic information
of an organism is changed in a stable manner.
The term ‘mutation breeding’ has become popular as it
draws attention to deliberate efforts of breeders and
the specific techniques they have used in creating and
harnessing desired variation in developing elite breeding
lines and cultivated varieties.
Centres of diversity – types of biodiversity – Centres of origin – Law of homologous series – centers of origin – types of centres of diversity – gene sanctuaries – genetic erosion – main reasons of genetic erosion – extinction – introgression – gene banks – types of gene banks
Clone is the progeny of a single plant, produced by asexual reproduction
Clonal selection is the selection of the most desirable members of a clone for continued vegetative propagation rather than for sexual reproduction.
The members of a clone keep up genetic constancy.
So by clonal selection and continued vegetative propagation, the desirable qualities of plants can be maintained for long.

Functional Genomics Prospective of Chickpea Breeding: Constraints and Future ...CrimsonpublishersMCDA
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume crop, cultivated in semi-arid and warm temperate zones. It is rich in protein so, one of the most important ingredients of human as well as animal feed. It is grown over 50 countries and traded across 140 countries of the world. The advancement in the development in the genomic resource it made the chickpea enable to adapt the biotic and abiotic stresses. We can create the genetic variability through conventional and non-conventional breeding methods because it is the basic key for breeder. The modern tools of biotechnology and genomic technology in chickpea will improved the breeding program of chickpea and decrease the time to develop new cultivars. However, the efforts have already been directed towards the chickpea improvement by the utilization of the genomics and biotechnological tools. Use of these techniques is expected to be very important in future breeding program. This review covered the genomics perspective of chickpea, constrains and future directions.

Plant Breeding: Art and Science
"Plant breeding means the improvement in the heredity of crops and production of new crop varieties which are far better than original types in all aspects."
All living organisms have the ability
to improve themselves through
natural means in order to adapt to
changing environmental conditions.
However, it takes hundreds of years
before any detectable improvement
is obtained. Man then learned how
to domesticate and breed plants
in order to develop crops to his
own liking and needs using various
means including biotechnology.
Biotechnology is defined as
a set of tools that uses living
organisms (or parts of organisms)
to make or modify a product,
improve plants, trees or animals,
or develop microorganisms
for specific uses. Agricultural
biotechnology is the term used in
crop and livestock improvement
through biotechnology tools. This
monograph will focus only on
agricultural crop biotechnology.
Biotechnology encompasses a
number of tools and elements of
conventional breeding techniques,
bioinformatics, microbiology,
molecular genetics, biochemistry,
plant physiology, and molecular
biology.
The biotechnology tools that
are important for agricultural
biotechnology include:
- Conventional plant breeding
- Tissue culture and
micropropagation
- Molecular breeding or marker
assisted selection
- Genetic engineering and GM
crops
- Molecular Diagnostic Tools

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. INTRODUCTIONOF PLANTBREEDING
“Plant breeding is the art and science of improving
the heredity of plants for the benefit of human
kind.”
-J.M. Poehlman, 1959.
-Plant breeding is an art and science, which tells us ways and means to
change the genetic architecture of plants so as to attain a particular
objective.
- Plant breeding has been practiced for thousands of years, since near the
beginning of human civilization.
3. The important activities of plant breeding include,
I. Creation of variability through hybridization, tissue culture and
mutagenesis
II. Selection of elite types from the diverse populations
III. Evaluation of selected genotypes in multi-location trials
IV. Identification of superior genotype based on testing,
V. Seed multiplication and,
VI. Distribution of the new variety to the farmers for commercial
cultivation.
4. The objectives are
a) Crop improvement
b) Improved agronomic characters
c) Resistance against biotic and abiotic stress
1. Increased yield
A. Majority of our breeding programmes aims at increased yield.
This is achieved by developing more efficient genotypes.
B. The classical examples are utilization of Dee Gee Woo Gen in rice
and Norin10 in wheat. Identification and utilization of male
sterility
5. 2. Improving the quality
Rice -Milling, cooking quality, aroma and grain colour.
Wheat- Milling and baking quality and gluten content.
Pulses -Protein content and improving sulphur
containing amino acids
Oilseeds- PUFA content
6. 3. Elimination of toxic substance
HCN content in jowar plants
Lathyrogen content in Lathyrus sativus (βN oxalyamine alanine
BOAA)
Erucic acid in Brassicas
Cucurbitacin in cucurbits
4. Resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses
Biotic stress:
Evolving pests and diseases resistant varieties there by
reducing cost of cultivation, environmental pollution
and saving beneficial insects.
Abiotic stress:
It is location specific problem. Soil factors and
edaphic factors some times poses severe problems.
Breeding resistant varieties is the easy way to combat
abiotic stress
7. 5. Change in maturity duration – Evolution of early maturing varieties
6. Improved agronomic characters -Production of more tillers – E.g.
Rice, Bajra,
7. Reducing the plant height to prevent lodging – Rice
8. Photoinsensitivity – Redgram, sorghum
9. Non-shattering nature – Green gram, Brassicas
10. Synchronized maturity – Pulses
11. Determinate Growth habit –determinate growth – Pulses
12. Elimination or introduction of dormancy –Groundnut
8. Scope of plant breeding
Since the cultivable land is shrinking and there is no scope for
increasing the area under cultivation, the only solution to
meet the food requirement is by increasing the crop yield
through genetic improvement of crop plants.
There are two ways by which yield improvement is possible.
I. Enhancing the productivity of crops
This can be done
a) By the proper management of soil and crops involving
suitable agronomic practices and harvesting physical
resources.
b) By using high potential crop varieties created by appropriate
genetic manipulation of crop plants.
2. Stabilizing the productivity achieved
This is done by using crop varieties that are bred especially for
wide adaptation or for specific crop zones to offset the ill
effects of unfavorable environmental conditions prevailing in
the areas.
9. Plant breeding, the past, present and future scopes
Indian agriculture remained stagnant particularly during early sixties. Long spells of severe
drought and serious out break of disease in some parts of the country led some futurologists to
state that a possible doom in India by the end of the decade.
However, we achieved break through in crops such as rice, wheat, pearlmillet, jowar and maize.
The indica x japonica cross derivative ADT 27 is the first high yielding rice of Tamil Nadu.
The identification of Dee Gee Woo Gen and release of Wonder rice IR 8 (peta x DGWG)
changed the scenario from poverty to problem of plenty.
Like wide identification of dwarfing gene in Japanese wheat variety Norin-10 by Borlaug and
breeding of Mexican dwarf wheat varieties led to the release of wheat varieties like Kalyan sona
in India
10. In pearl millet, breeding by male sterile line Tift 23A at Tifton, Georgia by Burton
and his coworker and later on its introduction to India led the release of hybrid bajra
HB1 to HB4, which increased bajra production many fold.
In Jowar, breeding of first male sterile line combined kafir 60A and its introduction
into India led to the release of first hybrid sorghum CSH 1 (CK 60A x IS 84) during
1970s.
At present we are in search of alternate source of cytoplasm in almost all crops to
breed hybrids with new source of cytoplasm to prevent the possibility of appearance
of new pest and diseases.
Thus, the future of plant breeding is a challenging task. The deployment of
innovative breeding techniques will be a new tool to assist the conventional breeding
techniques.
11. Undesirable effects of Plant Breeding
1. Genetic erosion: Disappearance of land races due to introduction
of high yielding varieties.
Eg. Introduction of IR 20 rice led to disappearance of land races of
samba rice.
2. Narrow genetic base: Genetic vulnerability to pest and diseases.
Tift 23A - Bajra - Susceptible downy mildew T cytoplasm - Maize -
susceptible to Helminthosporium
3. Minor disease and pest become major due to intensive resistance
breeding RTV (Rice Tungro Virus)
12. 4. Attainment of yield plateau: No more further increase in
yield.
Vilmorin (1857) proposed individual plant selection based on progeny
testing. This was known as “Vilmorins principle of progeny testing’.
He proposed this progeny testing in sugar content in sugar beets (Beta
vulgaris). But this method was ineffective in wheat. This clearly
demonstrated the difference between effect of selection in cross and
self pollinated crops.
13. History of Plant Breeding
It started when man first choose certain plants for cultivation. There
is no recorded history when the plant breeding started.
As early as 700 BC Babylonians and Assyrians artificially
pollinated the date palm.
In 1717 Thomas Fairchild produced the first artificial hybrid.
Joseph Kolreuter, a German made extensive crosses in Tobacco and
Solanum between 1760 and 1866 and studied the progenies in
detail.
Thomas Andrew Knight (1759-1835) was the first man to produce
several new fruit varieties by using artificial hybridization.
Le Coutier, a farmer published his results on selection in wheat in
the year 1843. He concluded that progenies from single plants were
more uniform.
Patrick Shireff a Scotsman practiced individual plant selection in
wheat and oats and developed some valuable varieties.
14. Nilsson and his associates in Sweedish Seed Association, Svalof Sweeden (1890)
refined the single plant selection.
In 1903 Johansen proposed the famous ‘pure line theory’ which states that a pure
line is progeny of a single self fertilized homozygous plant. He proposed this theory
based on his studies in Phaseolus vulgaris.
G.H. Shull work in maize is the forerunner for the present day hybrid maize
programme. He described in detail about the effect of inbreeding.
During 1960’s Norman Borlaug, the Nobel laureate developed Mexican semi dwarf
wheat varieties, which paved the way for green revolution in wheat. The dwarfing
gene was isolated from wheat variety Norin 10. Later on this Mexican dwarf were
introduced
In the India by Dr. M.S.Swaminathan and a number of high yielding wheat varieties
like Kalyan Sona, Sharbathi Sonara were developed.
In rice the identification of dwarf Dee Gee Woo Gen from a tall rice variety by a
Taiwan farmer revolutionized rice breeding. Using this DGWG at IRRI during 1965
the wonder rice IR 8 was released.
Nobilisation in sugarcane by C.a. Barber and T.S.Venkataraman is another
monumental work in plant breeding.
