Abstract
The use of the speed breeding method is widely considered to be the wave of the future in plant breeding. The term "speed breeding" is used to describe a rapid generational advancement technique that is used to minimise the time it takes from seed to seed, therefore reducing the length of a crop plant's typical life cycle. Plants that are not sensitive to light may have as many as six generations in a single year using this method, whereas other plants can only expect two or three generations every year. With this technique, the photoperiodic and temperature needs of crops produced in controlled-poly homes may be altered. This methodology, when combined with other cutting-edge tools like genome editing and high-throughput genotyping systems, may help breed new kinds of crops at a much quicker pace. Spacefaring food producers: NASA first conceived of this notion. Breeder's equation may be used to determine whether speed breeding is applicable to a certain crop. Light, photoperiodic regime, temperature, and humidity modification make up the backbone of the fast-breeding formula. Accelerated breeding, expedited genomic selection, improved transgenic and CRISPR-Cas9 pipelines, and the investigation of critically important agricultural plant physiological properties are just some of the numerous uses for this approach.
