With the recent advances in plant biotechnology, biotechnologists
will continue working very closely with plant breeders and patholo-
gists. The latest technologies allow us to focus more on discovering
gene(s) that control certain traits.
Certain traits, such as yield, prolificacy, drought-tolerance and some
diseases are highly complicated. Biotechnologists will continue
applying the latest technologies to dissect these complex traits
to make it easier and more efficient for the breeders to operate.
Accurate phenotyping, backed by advanced molecular techno-
logies will make any breeding programme function optimally in a
quest to release superior varieties.
As we all know, the climate is changing and the plants quickly need
to adapt. Biotechnology will thus play a key role towards the develop-
ment of well-adapted, stress-tolerant plants in order to ensure food
security.
