New technologies
· Enabling technologies getting cheaper
Next generation sequencing
More precise and
cheaper genotyping
Plant Cell Biology
· Whole genome sequencing
· Resequencing
· Genotyping by sequencing
· Bulk segregant Analysis
· Gene discovery
· Mutant screening
· Precise selection in Breeding
based on genetic information
· Quick mapping for Marker
development
· Tighter quality control of produced
Hybrid seeds
· Plant regeneration
· Micropropagation
· Chromsome doubling
· Double haploids
· Molecule delivery
