Improved variety of seeds can be developed.

Helps in obtaining desirable agronomic characters like dwarfness in cereals and tallness and profuse branching in fodder crops.

Similarly, genes for higher yield, disease resistance, etc. can be introduced in any desired plant. It helps in improving crop variety.
