Popis:	Before beginning a discussion about the future of plant breeding training, it is necessary to defi ne what a plant breeder is. The traditional view of plant breeders includes only those researchers who develop new plants that result in a product more suited to human needs. However, many feel that this defi nition should be expanded to include scientists who contribute to crop improvement through any type of genetic studies. These studies range from using molecular markers to describe levels of diversity in a breeding population to identifying the QTL that underlie variation patterns. In this discussion of plant breeding training we will use the more restricted defi nition to single out the training of those individuals who directly produce new cultivars.
