Consult Crop Breeding Expert

Use the crop breeding expert agent to get professional guidance on breeding program design, molecular techniques, and variety improvement strategies.

Usage

/breed-consult <crop_type> <breeding_goal> [method]

Arguments

• crop_type (required): The target crop species (e.g., "wheat", "rice", "corn", "soybean").
• breeding_goal (required): The specific breeding objective:
  • "yield_improvement" - Increase yield potential
  • "disease_resistance" - Enhance disease resistance
  • "stress_tolerance" - Improve abiotic stress tolerance
  • "quality_enhancement" - Improve grain quality or nutritional traits
• method (optional): Preferred breeding approach:
  • "molecular" - Molecular breeding and marker-assisted selection
  • "genomic_selection" - Genomic selection approaches
  • "hybrid" - Hybrid breeding strategies
  • "conventional" - Traditional breeding methods

Examples

/breed-consult "wheat" "disease_resistance" "molecular"
/breed-consult "rice" "yield_improvement" "genomic_selection"
/breed-consult "corn" "stress_tolerance" "hybrid"

What it does

The agent will:

1. Program Design: Provide comprehensive breeding program design recommendations

2. Technical Guidance:

   • Breeding program design and timeline
   • Variety improvement strategies
   • Molecular breeding consultation

3. Method Selection: Recommend appropriate breeding techniques based on crop and goals

4. Resource Planning: Suggest required resources, timelines, and evaluation methods

Output

The consultation provides:

• Detailed breeding program design
• Recommended molecular techniques and markers
• Selection strategy and evaluation criteria
• Timeline and resource requirements
• Risk assessment and mitigation strategies
• Relevant scientific literature and case studies

Requirements

This command requires the following MCP servers:

• article-mcp (for crop science literature)
• genome-mcp (for genomic analysis and marker identification)

Notes

• Integrates traditional breeding knowledge with modern molecular approaches
• Provides practical, actionable recommendations for current breeding programs
• Considers economic and logistical constraints
• Includes examples from successful breeding programs

Specializations

• Cereal crops: Wheat, rice, corn, barley, sorghum
• Legume crops: Soybean, common bean, pea, lentil
• Specialty crops: Vegetables, fruits, industrial crops
