Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes the main features of the plant breeding industry and briefly discusses its role in agriculture and economic growth. It explains the beneficial role of plant breeding in various socio-economic sectors as well as the development of the breeding industry in terms of business structure and market concentration. The analysis of the evolution of plant breeding, especially after the introduction of new biotechnological techniques, sets the grounds for understanding the adoption of different modalities of plant variety protection.
