ARTICLES RELATED TO Plant breeding - Issues and concerns | | | |  Plant breeding - Issues and concerns: Encyclopedia II - Plant breeding - Issues and concernsModern plant breeding, whether classical or through genetic engineering, comes with issues of concern, particularly with regard to food crops. The question of whether breeding can have a negative effect on nutritional value is central in this respect. Although relatively little direct research in this area has been done, there are scientific indications that, by favoring certain aspects of a plant's development, other aspects may be retarded. A study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition in 2004, entitled Ch ...

| | | | Plant breeding - Issues and concerns: Encyclopedia II - Plant breeding - Domestication Domestication of plants is a selection process conducted by humans to produce plants that meet the needs of the farmer and the consumer. The practice is estimated to date back 9,000-11,000 years. Many crops in present day cultivation are the result of domestication in ancient times, about 5,000 years ago in the Old World and 3,000 years ago in the New World. In the Neolithic period, domestication took a minimum of 1,000 years ...

| | | | Plant breeding - Issues and concerns: Encyclopedia II - Plant breeding - Genetic modification Genetic modification of plants is achieved by adding a specific gene or genes to a plant, or by knocking out a gene with RNAi, to produce a desirable phenotype. The resulting plants are often referred to as transgenic plants. Genetic modification can produce a plant with the desired trait or traits faster than classical breeding because the majority of the plant's genome is not altered.
To genetically modify a plant, a genetic construct must be designed so that the gene to be added or knocked-out will be expressed by the plant. To do ...

In the Neolithic period, domestication took a minimum of 1,000 years and a maximum of 7,000 years. Today, all of our principal food crops come from domesticated varieties.
