Molecular genetics, for example, can enhance conventional breeding programmes, boosting the disease resistance of livestock in difficult conditions.

Acknowledging that "exotic germplasm" may at times make all the difference between competitors' similar products, conventional plant-breeding activities still rely heavily on the largest possible gene pool of improved varieties, while successfully marketed varieties constitute the backbone of conventional breeding programmes.
