Systematic Review of BPAT and CRP Evaluations on Market Segmentation and Target Product Profile Development in CGIAR Breeding Programs by Friedmann, M., Pede, V., Polar, Vivian, Rice, Brendan, Webber, H.

“…The TPP presents also additional traits that are also desirable, and might lead to particular impacts, be it in nutrition, gender equity, adaptation to climate change, or resistance to emerging diseases. These are also part of the TPP and undergo a prioritization process as not all traits might reach the desired levels during the breeding cycle.…”
