Conventional breeding is often constrained by the availability of a limited number of disease-resistance genes that are present and identified in various crop varieties or wild relatives. This is most commonly overcome by:
1. | Inducing mutations | 2. | Somaclonal variations |
3. | Genetic engineering | 4. | Plant introduction |
