Only
in recent years have
advances in genomics — and understanding how genetics play out
in whole organisms — made it realistic for crop breeders to be able to identify traits
in wild
plants and selectively
breed them into domestic stock.

Bred, a DuPont business headquartered
in Des Moines, Iowa, is the world's leading developer and supplier of
advanced plant genetics, providing high - quality seeds to farmers
in more than 90 countries.
Plant breeding research elsewhere in the world has benefited from advances in genomics and molecular markers, but plant breeding scientists in China do not work closely with researchers in those areas, says Carl Pray, an agriculture, food, and resource economics expert at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, who has worked in C
