Some breeding methods focus on individual plant improvement, whereas others focus on improving plant populations. Plant populations have certain dynamics, which impact their genetic structure. The genetic structure of a population determines its capacity to be changed by selection (i.e. improved by plant breeding). Understanding population structure is key to deciding the plant breeding options and selection strategies to use in a breeding program.
