Conventional breeding is often constrained by the availability of a limited number of disease-resistance genes that are present and identified in various crop varieties or wild relatives. This is most commonly overcome by:
1. | Inducing mutations | 2. | Somaclonal variations |
3. | Genetic engineering | 4. | Plant introduction |

Before releasing new cultivars in plant breeding programs, their testing includes all the following except:
1. | growing these in the research fields and recording their performance under ideal fertiliser application, irrigation, and other crop management practices. |
2. | testing the materials in farmers’ fields, for one growing season at selected locations in the country |
3. | comparison to the best available local crop cultivar – a check or reference cultivar |
4. | taking care of all patent and legal issues |
