Different conventional breeding approaches such as mutagenesis, which involves treating seeds or whole plants with mutagenic chemicals or high-energy radiation in the hopes of creating phenotypic enhancements this, too, resulted in unforeseen and undiscovered genetic implications from which the plant breeder picked the advantageous features.

Still, the fact is that one out of every three countries has an insufficient food supply, implying that more than 10% of the population is malnourished.
