Chapter20: Crop Improvement Edited by Dr. Mir F. Ali 1    C     h   a   p    t   e   r   2   0         C   r   o   p    I   m   p   r   o   v   e   m   e   n    t  The generic alteration of plants to satisfy human needs is demarcated as crop improvement. The common factors that are hampering crop production are abiotic, e.g. cold, salinity, soil aluminum toxicity and drought; as well as biotic, e.g. diseases and pests. Modern Approaches like induced mutations and biotechnology offer new means and significant potential to breed desired varieties in a relatively short time. Furthermore, these approaches facilitate the breeding of some vegetatively propagated crops which until now were improved mainly through selection of rare spontaneous mutants in natural or cultivated populations. Induced Mutations (Successful nuclear techniques) designed to change the genetic makeup of a given plant variety without crossing with another variety. With this approach, a variety retains all its original attributes b ut is upgraded in one or two changed characteristics. This approach is based on radiation-induced genetic changes. Scientific methods, mainly the use of radiation, can increase by a hundred thousand times the likelihood of beneficial changes in plants grown for man’s use, and provide a tool to break through present limitations in variability. Already there are examples of better crops of wheat, barley, rice, oats, peanuts, soybean and other plants.
