  • "How to Breed Plants, As told by Students" is one of many 4-6 minute short films funded by the UC Global Food Initiative (GFI) to teach the public and the UC community about sustainable agriculture. Unlike most educational videos produced by the UC system, these films are student directed. Our top priority is to educate viewers about sustainable agricultural practices and how adopting these practices could lead to real positive change. We do this by introducing the basic principles of a sustainable agricultural practice and demonstrating how this practice has been adopted by a student community. Through this model of showing by doing, we hope to inspire our viewers to be optimistic and proactive about making global food security a reality.
    This particular the video about an on-going pepper breeding project that was started 5 years ago by graduate student Jorge Berny on the UCD Student Organic Farm. Our ultimate goal is to breed a new pepper variety, the Jalapeno Popper, which is locally adapted to the growing conditions of an organic farming system. We hope to demonstrate that plant breeding is participatory: students and farmers alike can develop new varieties to suit their needs, not just seed companies. Improving a crop’s adaptation to specific growing environments is an essential part of sustainable agriculture: the better a plant variety grows in a particular farming system, the fewer inputs (i.e. fertilizer, pesticides, water, etc.) are needed to maintain high crop yields.

    My local library has a seed bank. Their rule is that if you take from it, the plants have to be planted in our local soil, and you have to bring back some of the seeds from the successful plants.
    This has allowed our community to have a supply of seeds that grow well in our area... and with us having particularly harsh winters, this is absolutely wonderful.
    With commercially bought seeds, many of the plants come REALLY close to the final frost dates. With the library seeds, most everything is either an early harvest or is extremely frost resistant.

      @Democrats Are just nazis For the most part, hybrids do need to be in the same genus. But, this is a general rule that applies most of the time but not always.
      Hybrids between different subspecies within a species are known as intra-specific hybrids. Hybrids between different species within the same genus are known as interspecific hybrids. Hybrids between different genera are known as intergeneric hybrids. And finally Extremely rare interfamilial hybrids have been known to occur.

      @@payme4243 First cross is 50 bell and 50 jalapeno. If one crossed that back to a bell pepper, only half of the 50% jalapeno would carry over making it 75% bell and 25% jalapeno.
      Generations of inbreeding a hybrid and selection are more difficult to predict how much genetics is retained from the original cultivars.
      Given a large enough initial seed base, one might still select for large jalapeno like morphology and jalapeno spicy traits from future inbreeding the hybrids until one has relatively limited variability and the desired traits in the hybrid gene pool.

      @juliaf_ 3 роки тому +1

      To allow them to adapt to the environment they're intended to grow in. Peppers naturally have a reasonably long growing season too, so it's not possible to grow multiple rounds outside in one growing season in most parts of the world. If it was just for the pepper size, shape, and flavour, they could do that, but they were also growing for weather and pest resistance.
