The Hybrid Seeds session will discuss the latest advances in plant breeding, molecular genetics, and biotechnological developments for creating crop resistance, yield, and nutrition. Hybrid seeds are a key component of contemporary agriculture, which unites good characteristics from various parent plants to enhance stress tolerance, disease resistance, and productivity. The session will present the current advances in hybrid seed technology and their role in sustainable agriculture during the Plant Science and Molecular Biology World Conference.
