The fundamental importance of maintaining active research programs persists as a result of continuing developments in plant breeding programs and the unquestionable evolution of crop production technology as a guarantee of providing interesting and useful genes to mankind in a competitive environment.

Therefore, under the biological approach, seeds represent the continuation of plant life. Under the technology approach, seed is the most efficient way to transfer advances in plant genetics and breeding to farmers. From the perspective of these two view points, the dynamics of seed research is irreversible and will continue to represent significant short and medium term progress as outstanding symbols of diversity.
