Food is an unending need of living being particularly human beings and the animal kingdom. With growing population and emergence of food industries the demand for food is ever increasing. Whereas on one hand the demand for food is increasing and on the other hand the total available land area is fixed and added to that because of increasing industrialization along with it rapid conversion of agricultural lands for non-agricultural purposes, the total available cultivable land is reducing. This has brought about serious problem of food security. There is alarming rise in prices of food articles because of its acute shortage. The solution to this is increasing food productivity by development of high yielding new plant varieties. The answer lies in use of bio-technology for development of new plant varieties. The role is also cut out for plant breeders. However the problem is any new variety of plant can be developed only by using the existing genetic resources and the farmers have silently contributed to the development and evolution of the genetic resources.
