Abstract

Abstract: The importance of plant breeding in Brazilian agriculture has grown a lot in the last 50 years. This occurred mainly because of the: increase in graduate programs, which qualified hundreds of professionals; creation of EMBRAPA and other research institutes or state companies, with an emphasis on the production of new cultivars and; promulgation of the cultivar protection law, which stimulates investments in seed production. The retrospective of what happened, enabling the country to move from being an importer of grains, fruits, and fibers to one of the largest exporters of these products worldwide, was the focus of this work. Taking as reference some agricultural products, this article highlights the significant contribution of plant breeding in recent years. Also, some of the enormous challenges that still have to be overcome, in which the participation of Brazilian breeders will be fundamental to continue the progress of agriculture in the coming years.

巴西植物育种:过去50年的回顾

摘要：近50年来，植物育种在巴西农业中的重要性不断提高。这主要是因为：研究生项目的增加，使数百名专业人员获得了资格；创建EMBRAPA和其他研究机构或国有公司，重点生产新品种；颁布了品种保护法，刺激了对种子生产的投资。这项工作的重点是回顾所发生的事情，使该国从谷物、水果和纤维的进口国转变为全球最大的这些产品出口国之一。本文以一些农产品为参考，着重介绍了近年来植物育种的重大贡献。此外，一些仍然需要克服的巨大挑战，巴西饲养员的参与将是未来几年农业继续进步的根本。
