An important part of the process, often neglected by geneticists, is the stage from recommendation to the production of breeder seed (post-breeding). This paper discusses the role of the breeder in the recommendation, registration, protection and marketing of new cultivars. The breederĄŻs active participation in all phases of post-breeding is fundamental to ensure that the cultivar reaches farmers quickly and can provide the benefits expected by society %K Varieties %K marketing %K advertisement %K breeder seed %K post-breeding. %U http://www.sbmp.org.br/cbab/siscbab/uploads/b14235ce-401d-4edc.pdf
