Marker-assisted selection will become the main direction of future breeding
Conventional breeding methods have limitations such as genetic variation and genome hybridization; in principle, these limitations can be overcome through genetic engineering methods (such as recombinant DNA). Using these methods, genes with defined functions can be cloned and introduced into different species in a rapid and highly specialized manner.

Breeding work for niche crops should not be neglected
How long does it take to breed a new crop variety? Older-generation breeders often tell me: ten years to breed one variety. This is no exaggeration. Even with off-season propagation in the south to add generations, traditional biological breeding techniques still require breeders to spend eight to ten years to select and breed a satisfactory
