   Jul 29, 2020 · For self-fertilizing crops, such as rice and sorghum, 9 generations are needed, and for cross-pollinated crops, such as corn, it increases to 17 generations (≥5 y in optimal growth conditions) . For the last 30 y, the tools of molecular genetics have driven and energized numerous scientists to improve crops ( 21 ).
