1. Classical breeding
- 10 - 12 year breesing cycle
- Large land requirement
- High cost of breeding trials
2. Genomics-guided breeding
- Development of genomic platforms
- SNP array
- Oligoarray
- Methylarray
- Genomics-guided decision
- Tools for quality control
- Early selection for agronomic traits
- Reduced cost of breeding trials
- Shorter selection cycle
