Early flowering, double haploids, early multilocation trials and marker-assisted selection help in speeding up of the conventional breeding in okra, while nonconventional methods like mutation breeding and genetic engineering result in the development of varieties within shorter period of time. In this chapter, below, the possible ways for speeding up of the okra breeding programme are discussed. Hence, there is need for taking accelerated breeding or speed breeding in okra to achieve these goals. The ever-growing population of the globe and increasing health consciousness among the people are putting more pressure for developing the high-yielding nutrient-rich, pest and disease resistance varieties at quicker pace. Despite huge variation due to vast number of genotypes within Abelmoschus esculentus and occurrence of more wild relatives, improvement in okra is slow because of various barriers such as no compatible good source of resistance against diseases like yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV), enation leaf curl virus (ELCV) and fruit borer polyploidy difficulties in DNA isolation and nonavailability of proper genetic markers. Okra is a nutrient-rich important crop with commercial value in tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
