Plant Breeders work on improving the quality and performance of existing agricultural and horticultural crops and create new varieties of plants. They work towards finding the best possible trait that is desirable for yield, quality, size, and can be resistant to drought, frost, and pests in certain plants.
Plant Breeders undertake scientific research to meet market requirements and consumer demands, and to increase and maintain yields in important crops. They may work in a commercial, academic or research setting.
