Breeding, food, gene discovery Politeknik Enjiniring Pertanian Indonesia 631 SAB p SABRAN, Muhamad [et.al] Plant breeding has been significantly contributed to agricultural productivity through developing new superior crop varieties. The success of plant breeding depend, among others, on the availability of genetic resources, discoveries of genes that control important traits within such genetic resources and pre-breeding. Pre-breeding refers to all activities designed to identify desirable characteristics and/or genes from unadapted materials that cannot be used directly in breeding populations and to transfer these traits to an intermediate set of materials that breeders can use further in producing new varieties for farmers. It is a necessary first step in the use of diversity arising from wild relatives and other unimproved materials 54.BB.PEPI 2020
