Indoor Plant Pest Resistance Breeding

FAQ About Indoor Plant Pest Resistance Breeding

What methods are used in breeding pest-resistant indoor plants?

Methods used in breeding pest-resistant indoor plants include traditional cross-breeding, genetic engineering, and marker-assisted selection. Traditional breeding involves selecting parent plants with desired traits and cross-pollinating them. Genetic engineering might include introducing specific genes using biotechnological tools, while marker-assisted selection uses genetic markers to expedite the identification of desired traits.
