Agriculture depends on improved varieties, and varieties are developed by breeding appropriate plants. Unfortunately, applied plant breeding programs that focus on cereal crop crops are seriously eroded by lack of funding.

The loss of public support affects the continuity of education, objectivity, and perhaps equally important, the future training of plant breeders and the use and improvement of plant genetic resources for the time being. Education programs should focus not only on short-term research objectives but also on the long-term genetic improvement of germplasm.

Research products for breeding programs are important not only for food security but also for public and private commodity-oriented programs, especially in crop production margins. The breeding strategies used for long-term selection are often neglected, but the fact is that long-term research is essential for the success of short-term products.

An excellent example is that generic genetically modified genotypes have been largely used and recycled by the industry, generating billions of dollars for industry and farmers before intellectual property rights are available. Successful examples of sustainable production have served to produce the sustainable grain harvest we currently have.

The fact that farmers rely on public and private educational institutions to solve long-term challenges for policymakers to reverse this trend of reduced funding must be affected. Cooperation between industry and public institutions will be an example.

The objective of this volume is to increase the use of beneficial genetic resources and increase awareness of the relative value and impact of plant breeding and biotechnology. This should lead to more sustainable crops and food security in the end.

Applied plant breeding will continue to be the basis for molecular markers. The concentration of beneficial molecular techniques on the right traits will build a strong link between the genome and plant breeding and lead to new and better varieties.

More than ever, there is a need for better communication and cooperation among scientists in the fields of plant breeding and biotechnology. We have an opportunity to significantly boost agricultural production by applying the results of this research to meet the growing demand for food security and environmental conservation.

Ensuring strong plant breeding programs applied with the successful application of molecular markers will be essential in ensuring the sustainable use of plant genetic resources.
