Abstract
Reverse breeding is a novel plant breeding technique design to directly produce parental lines for any heterozygous plant, one of the most striven after goals in plant breeding. Reverse breeding generates perfectly complimenting homozygous parental lines through engineered meiosis in reverse genes with proven record. In this technique the end product is a F1 hybrid and the end product of reverse breeding will be similar to parental lines obtained through conventional breeding. This method will replace the traditional method of seed production in future.
