| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the reduced number of public breeding programs due to decreased funding based on the "perception that cultivar development is being addressed by the private sector." States that "the long-term trend of decreasing numbers of public breeding programs and increasing demand for breeders from the private sector is unlikely to be reversed in the short term." Suggests that "employing different educational approaches based on cooperation within and among both public institutions and private companies" are strategies to combat this problem. |
