Alternative breeding technologies![side technologie](/images/siteimages/side_technologie.jpg)
Cross-breeding (hybridization)
- Take use of the genetic variation in two parents and via this method it is also possible to achieve certain improvements, however it takes very long (10-15 years) and it than takes long to get an overall good potato as many properties of the plant are changed
Traditional mutatgenesis![Projekt Oppotunity](/images/siteimages/side_technologie_2.jpg)
![Projekt Oppotunity](/images/siteimages/side_technologie_2.jpg)
- Add genetic variation through random mutagenesis, via chemicals or radiation on the seed or plants
Transgenesis
- Add genes by transformation
- More detail can be provided
