Difference between Green Revolution and Plant breeding

Green Revolution vs. Plant breeding

The Green Revolution, or Third Agricultural Revolution, refers to a set of research and the development of technology transfer initiatives occurring between the 1930s and the late 1960s (with prequels in the work of the agrarian geneticist Nazareno Strampelli in the 1920s and 1930s), that increased agricultural production worldwide, particularly in the developing world, beginning most markedly in the late 1960s. Plant breeding is the art and science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics.

Similarities between Green Revolution and Plant breeding

Green Revolution and Plant breeding have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Biodiversity, Cultivar, Food security, Gene, Genome, Herbicide, Hybrid (biology), Marker-assisted selection, Mutant, Nazareno Strampelli, New Rice for Africa, Norman Borlaug, Pest (organism), Phenotype, Wheat.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity, a portmanteau of biological (life) and diversity, generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth.

Hybrid (biology)

In biology, a hybrid, or crossbreed, is the result of combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction.

Marker-assisted selection

Marker assisted selection or marker aided selection (MAS) is an indirect selection process where a trait of interest is selected based on a marker (morphological, biochemical or DNA/RNA variation) linked to a trait of interest (e.g. productivity, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, and quality), rather than on the trait itself.

Mutant

In biology and especially genetics, a mutant is an organism or a new genetic character arising or resulting from an instance of mutation, which is an alteration of the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome of an organism.
