Development of high yielding rice: Bangladesh Rice Research Center has developed high yielding varieties like Biri-1, Biri-2, Biri-3, Biri-15, Biri-26 etc. through artificial breeding. Currently, more high yielding rice varieties are being developed.
Development of high yielding wheat: Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BRRI) developed 17 varieties of wheat through hybridization. High yielding wheat varieties are – Balaka, Akbar, Kanchan, Barkat, Saugat, BR-27 and BR-28. They have been modified through artificial breeding.
Development of disease-resistant varieties: Disease-resistant varieties are developed by breeding wild disease-resistant crops with arable disease-causing crops. E.g. Mukta (BR-11), Ghazi (BR-14), Mohini (BR-15), Shahi Balam (BR-16) etc. disease resistant varieties of rice. The modified varieties are successfully cultivated in any environment.
Development of Harsh Tolerant Varieties: Through artificial breeding, varieties of plants have been created which can grow in harsh environments. All these varieties can tolerate drought, flood, salinity etc.
Quality Improvement: Changing the characteristics of grains like shape, color, smell, taste etc. through artificial breeding.
Shortening of cultivation period: It has been possible to shorten the cultivation period of crops by 20-30 days through artificial hybridization. Shortening of crop growing season is a revolutionary change.
More adaptability: Plants created through artificial breeding have more adaptability. So can withstand environmental stress. Can survive in any environment.
Simultaneous maturity: Crops that mature at the same time are developed through artificial breeding. It saves effort and money in harvesting.
Changes in the nature of seed shedding: Seeds of many crops are shed in the field. This reduces crop yield and farmers suffer. Seed shedding behavior of crops has been modified through artificial breeding.
Creation of Variation: New varieties are created by artificial breeding. It is creating variation in different varieties of crops. It creates new species. As a result, evolution occurs in plants.
