Prebreeding is a crucial component of modern agricultural breeding, bridging traditional and contemporary methods to introduce novel traits from germplasm banks into cultivar development. The World Vegetable Center aims to alleviate poverty and malnutrition by promoting vegetable cultivation and consumption, focusing on the Solanaceae family (potatoes, eggplants, capsicums, tomatoes) and integrating breeding with education to address market and Chavez 5 environmental challenges. An eight-week internship at the Center provided a holistic understanding of the breeding process through exposure to all eight departments. The internship included activities such as PCR and RNA extraction, exploring Seed Health and Quarantine, conventional and molecular breeding, disease management, and pest control. Key areas covered included seed purity, disease resistance, germplasm management, integrated pest management, and nutritional education. This comprehensive experience offered valuable insights into prebreeding processes and their practical applications in enhancing agricultural practices.
