To increase crop yields and feed billions of people in climate changing world , it is essential to enhance genetic gains. But the development of new varieties is hindered by longer generation times and seasonal constraints. The Rapid generational advancement technique will improve the genetic gain by reducing the time taken to complete life cycle of a plant. Rapid generational advancement technique with single seed descent method, we can utilize for speed breeding 🚀 🌾 . #speed breeding #Rapid generational advancement technique
