2. WHAT DOES IT CONSIST
OF?
Genetic improvement is an essential
technological tool for forest
development, applying the basic
principles of genetics and other forestry
disciplines to the management of forest
species, allowing for increased
productivity and wood quality.

SOME
FEATURES
Increasing productivity
Improving commercial and nutritional quality
Increasing resistance to factors adverse to the
crop
Improving the adaptation of plants to the
environment
Genetic improvement is achieved through the
modification of the genotype of plants, which allows:
Chromosome
DNA
gene

4. BENEFITS
FOR SOCIETY
Generate innovation in the agri-food sector to
obtain improved lines with high agronomic alue,
which increase the productivity and
competitiveness of the Mexican countryside. We
focus on underutilized species that have regional
and local economic importance, which favors the
practice of sustainable agriculture and the
application of nuclear technology in the
conservation of horticultural products. We also
seek to strengthen the country's food security.

5. WHAT IS A GENOME?

6. Environmental VariationGenetic Variation
VARIATION
Genetic variability allows a
plant population to have
individuals with different
characteristics, which is
essential for adapting to
changes in the environment.
This is the diversity in
DNA between individuals
or among a population.
This is when environmental
factors directly affect a
characteristic of an
individual or population.

7. NATURAL
SELECTION
Natural selection is the mechanism
by which organisms that are more
suited to their environment survive
and reproduce.
Through natural selection,
advantageous traits, such as spots on
cows, are passed on to future
generations, driving evolution.

8. IN SHORT, GENETIC IMPROVEMENT
IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THE
RESILIENCE OF CROPS IN THE FACE
OF CHALLENGES SUCH AS CLIMATE
CHANGE AND EMERGING DISEASES,
AS WELL AS TO IMPROVE THE
QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY OF
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION,
CONTRIBUTING TO A MORE
SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM
ADAPTED TO THE NEEDS OF THE
FUTURE.
