Plant breeding is the process of manipulating plant species to create desired types that have higher yields, are better suited for cultivation, and are disease resistant. There are classical methods like self-pollination and cross-pollination as well as modern techniques such as genetically modified crops, mutation breeding, and somacclonal breeding. The process involves collecting variability, evaluating and selecting parents, cross hybridization, selecting and testing superior recombinants, and releasing new cultivars.
