Q

is the art and science of changing the traits of plants in order to product desired characteristics.”-Sleper and Poehlman, Breeding Field Crops, 1995. Plants are crossbred to introduce traits/genes from one variety or line into a new genetic background. For example, a mildew-resistant pea may be crossed with a high- yielding but susceptible pea, the goal of the cross being to introduce mildew resistance without losing the high-yield characteristics.

A

Q

is the interaction of people with plants. Economic botany is closely related to the field of ethnobotany that word is based on two Greek roots: ethnos (race: people: cultural group) and botanikos (of herbs) and can mean the plant lore of a race or people as well as the study of that lore
