Abstract
The influence of biotechnology and globalization processes on plant breeding sector and its R&D component is discussed on the background of spectacular achievements of plant breeding during the second half of XX century, symbolized by green revolution. The impact of the above factors on plant breeding methodology and relations between science and plant breeding is described. The importance of biotechnology and of dominance of private funds in plant breeding and research for the structure of plant breeding businesses and information exchange and availability of pre-breeding materials is discussed.
