The Foundation for Advanced Training in Plant Breeding (ATPBR) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization, whose goal is to strengthen plant breeding research-for-development (R4D) capacity in India. ATPBR aims to create a conducive ecosystem by bringing together knowledge and skill-based organizations and experts on a common platform and facilitate interventions for organizing joint capacity-building courses, joint research projects and co-incubation practices to promote technology entrepreneurs and global research leaders to support a viable seed industry.
ATPBR aims to: 1. Be a platform to facilitate and catalyze public and private partnerships in the seed industry 2. Sensitize people to appreciate and value the importance of plant breeding research for a vibrant seed industry 3. Promote global partnerships in the seed industry through capacity building via research-for-development 4. Nurture young plant breeders through upgradation in use of cutting-edge technologies, via a global network of experienced scientists 5. Aspire to be the leading plant breeding research and capacity building center

Motivation
The ‘Foundation for Advanced Training in Plant Breeding (ATPBR)’ is a non-profit organization. This organization aims to promote advanced technology in plant breeding and develop qualified plant professionals who would complement and add value to the existing system...
Recent advances in the field of plant breeding include the development of a new breeding technique called genome editing. Genome editing technologies have emerged as powerful tools to precisely modify the crop genomes at specific sites in the genome, which has been the longstanding goal of plant breeders.
Plant breeders follow certain general steps in their work: (a) objective(s), (b) creation/assembly of variation, (c) selection, (d) evaluation, and (e) cultivar release.
The most important methods of breeding cross-pollinated species are (1) mass selection; (2) development of hybrid varieties; and (3) development of synthetic varieties.
New genomic techniques are ways to breed plants by introducing specific changes to the DNA. In many cases, these techniques do not require the use of foreign genetic material from species that could not naturally crossbreed.
Plant breeding can be categorized into three main types: (i) breeding based on observed variation, where plants are selected based on natural variants or traditional varieties ; (ii) breeding based on controlled mating, where plants with desirable genes from different parents are selected ; and (iii) breeding based on ...
New breeding techniques (NBTs) make specific changes within plant DNA in order to change its traits, and these modifications can vary in scale from altering single base, to inserting or removing one or more genes.
Speed breeding may be conducted in numerous ways, which include the extension of plants' daily exposure to light and early seed harvest to reduce generation times for day-neutral crops [10].
The correct answer is mutation breeding: Plant breeding is the technique used to improve the variety of plants for human welfare. Introduction, selection, hybridization and mutation breeding are the main methods of crop improvement along with polyploid breeding, tissue culture and genetic engineering.
Plant breeding is the science driven creative process of developing new plant varieties that goes by various names including cultivar development, crop improvement, and seed improvement.
Solution: The main steps in breeding a new genetic variety of a crop are: Collection of germplasm→ Evaluation of germplasm and selection of parents→ Cross hybridisation among the selected parents→ Selection and testing of superior recombinants→ Testing, release and commercialisation of new cultivars.
Thus, plant breeding is an art science and a technology of developing genetically superior plants in terms of the economics utility for the mankind. Objectives of Plant Breeding: Plant breeding aims to improve the characteristics of plants so that they become more desirable agronomically and economically.
