TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive speed breeding (CSB) system was proposed for the rapid generation and high-throughput culture of long-day crops, which can accomplish 4.5 and 5.5 generations for both semi-winter canola and winter wheat per year.
Abstract: Breeding cycle time largely determines the efficiency of crop genetic improvement. To accelerate the generation progress, Watson et al. (2018) proposed a concept of 'speed breeding (SB)' by extending the photoperiod and increasing the light intensity during plant growth. However, there have been few reports on the successful application of SB in semi-winter and winter long-day crops. Here, we propose a comprehensive speed breeding (CSB) system for the rapid generation and high-throughput culture of long-day crops, which can accomplish 4.5 generations for both semi-winter canola and winter wheat per year. With the aid of extra far-red light, three and 5.5 generations can be accomplished for the typical winter and semi-winter type canola. CSB also exhibits high efficiency in spring type canola, and can achieve up to 6.5 and 5.5 generations with or without extra far-red light, respectively. This strategy is expected to greatly accelerate gene pyramiding of superior alleles, screening of recombinants for QTL mapping and functional genomics research by rapid purification of multiple mutated alleles.

09 Jun 2008TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the identification and accumulation of preferred nucleic acid sequences in the germplasm of a breeding population of plants, and provided breeding methods and compositions to enhance the gene pool of a plant.
Abstract: The present invention provides breeding methods and compositions to enhance the germplasm of a plant by the use of direct nucleic acid sequence information. The methods describe the identification and accumulation of preferred nucleic acid sequences in the germplasm of a breeding population of plants.

TL;DR: Molecular breeding technologies offer a great scope of accelerated progress in selecting stress tolerant crop plants with increased precision of selection, since molecular markers are not influenced by environmental factors and are detectable at all stages of plant growth, screening for stress tolerant plants can be done early at seedling stage, thus, saving time, space and resources.
