              During the 1^st centuries people look for the betterment of their cropped plants by using hybridization (to control pollination of plants) and selective breeding. This started when people begin to collect seeds from their favorite wild plants and started cultivating them in tended those fields. This means that the most desirable plants’ seeds will be replanted again by next growing season.

            In this simple selective breeding they have improved the qualities of their products which become they basis of agriculture for hundred of years. This resulted in the growth of thousands domesticated plant cultivars. Plant biotechnology is the extension of this process plant biotechnology enables them to transfer grater variety of genetic information in a controlled manner which is more precise. This started in the late 1800 after; they have derived the knowledge from Gregor Mendel. The study of Mendel talks about the heritable genetic factors that separate during sexual reproduction off plants. This also tackles about the factors of unlike traits a sort independently of each other.

            This is different from traditional plant breeding that involves the crossing of thousands or hundreds of genes. This also enables to transfer of only few or one desirable gene. By this process, the plant readers are able to develop crops with particular beneficial traits without any not desirable traits. These beneficial traits fight plant pests such as insects, diseases and needs that can destroy the route of the plant while other improve the traits of vegetables and fruits. For instance, a tomato that was used by plant biotechnology can have higher content of solids and become more nutrition. The oil seeds at this plant can have oils with lower saturated fat content.

            For now there are now more developments on plant biotechnology all over the world especially in Europe. This is because of public pressure which cause for grater production of fruits and vegetables in our country there are also plant biotechnology development that help in making our country productive.

            Plant biotechnology is very important to the agricultural community. Other development in plant biotechnology is the plant tissue culture which contributes a lot to the growing community of all countries. Lots of techniques are involved in this type of biotechnology wherein there is a possibility for more production of plants. This means that farmers can gain more products that they can sell in the market. But this can only be done in close environment.  This can enrich the kind of life of every individual that are involve in this kind of technology.

            Not only crops are being cultured now but also the ornamental plants that upgrade the livelihood of the people. This makes every people to be more aware and involve in this type of new breakthrough today. Without any technology developments that are happening today, it will be hard for people to do their daily tasks. It will also be hard for them to level up their life especially their living. For sure in the further future, there will be more developments that will make them triumphant. These are the things that are behind the glimpse of their success.
