Focuses on improving genetic traits and accelerating the breeding process as 

1. Genetic Modification : Techniques like CRISPR/Cas9 and transgenic methods allow for precise alterations in the DNA of organisms, introducing desirable traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improved nutritional content.
2. Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) : Utilizes molecular markers linked to desirable traits to select for specific genetic combinations more efficiently, speeding up the breeding cycle.
3. Genomic Selection : Involves predicting the genetic value of individuals based on genomic data, allowing for informed selections even before they express physical traits.
4. Tissue Culture : Enables the rapid propagation of plants, preserving desirable genetic traits and producing disease-free plantlets.
5. Cryopreservation : The freezing and storage of genetic materials (e.g., seeds, embryos) for long-term preservation, ensuring genetic diversity and availability for future breeding.
6. Hybridization Techniques : Facilitates the creation of hybrids with improved traits through techniques such as somatic hybridization.
