WHAT DOES LANDRACE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Landrace

A landrace is a local variety of a domesticated animal or plant species which has developed over time, by adaptation to the natural and cultural environment in which it lives. Specimens of a landrace are usually more genetically and phenotypically diverse than members of a formal breed. Many such breeds originate from attempts to make landraces more consistent through selective breeding, and sometimes a particular type has both landrace and formal breed populations. Confusingly, sometimes the name of a formalised breed based on a landrace retains the word "landrace" in it, despite the breed no longer being a true landrace, or may have the same name as the landrace from which it was derived. When an animal landrace is formalised as a pedigree breed without significant selective breeding to alter it, but rather to lock in what are thought of as its defining traits, it is often referred to as a natural breed or traditional breed by breeder and fancier organisations. Similarly, the term traditional variety is sometimes applied to plant landraces, and heirloom plants may in some cases be samples of landraces.

Definition of landrace in the English dictionary
