www.isaaa.orgConventional plant breeding resulting in open pollinated varieties or hybrid varieties has had a tremendous impact on agricultural productivity over the last decades. While an extremely important tool, conventional plant breeding also has its limitations. First, breeding can only be done between two plants that can sexually mate with each other.

Plant Mutation Breeding and Biotechnology
www.fao.org1 Up until the 20th century, spontaneous mutations were the only source of novel genetic diversity that mankind could exploit in selecting plants and animals suitable for domestication and breeding. A leap in plant breeding came when ionizing radiation was discovered to modify the genetic make-up of organisms.
