What is SDN 1/2/3
SDN (Site-Directed Nuclease) is a genome editing technology categorized into SDN-1, SDN-2, and SDN-3 based on the nature of the edits introduced. SDN-1 involves small insertions/deletions without foreign DNA, SDN-2 uses a small DNA template for specific changes, and SDN-3 introduces larger DNA elements or genes. Government documents often discuss SDN, particularly in the context of regulating genome-edited plants. 
SDN 1 and 2 only allowed in India ( SDN 3 not allowed)

Speed breeding is a technique that accelerates plant development and crop breeding by manipulating environmental conditions and other methods to shorten the time it takes to advance a crop from one generation to the next. This process, also known as rapid generation advancement, relies on techniques like controlled environments, prolonged photoperiods, and high-density planting to hasten flowering, seed development, and maturity.
