a second problem when they attempt to make use of the genetic variation that is present in groups that are incompatible with each other. Wide-scale hybridization and intensive backcrossing of created hybrids with recipient parents provide novel features into cultivated types. Nevertheless, the targeted features of interest don't appear on their own; they're accompanied by larger portions of wild chromosomes and so are linked to linkage drag, which may include unwanted genes. Traditional breeding cannot regulate the expression of target genes in a new genetic background, which is the third constraint. Using current breeding methods like marker-assisted selection helps speed up the introgression process while also reducing linkage drag. Plant breeding will continue to use conventional techniques to create new and better varieties, in other words. In contrast to traditional phenotypic selection, molecular breeding plays an important role since it is more accurate, quick, and cost-effective than conventional phenotypic selection.
