Abstract
The title of my assignment suggests that I should say something about the history of plant breeding from 1910 to 1984. Why no earlier than 1910? Perhaps it is because by 1910 we were beginning to apply Mendel’s classical genetic papers, recognizing the gene and its role in plant breeding. Certainly plant breeding did not start in 1910.
