Plant Breeding Is Changing — Here’s What’s Next (Garden Talk #207)

In this episode, I sit down with Richard Philbrook, Principal Scientist of Genetics at Dark Heart, to discuss how modern science is changing the future of plant breeding. We cover predicting offspring, stabilizing genetics, doubled haploids, tissue culture, marker-assisted selection, resistance genes, epigenetics, and selecting desirable traits. Richard also breaks down plant reversal, STS formulas and spray strategies, F1 hybrids vs. polyhybrids, triploids, and the testing that goes into gen...
