Abstract

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) and genomic selection (GS) are crucial for accelerating crop breeding, enhancing traits like disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, and yield. These molecular tools offer unparalleled precision and efficiency, significantly cutting down breeding time. Emerging genomic technologies further refine MAS, enabling faster development of improved varieties in diverse crops, including vegetables, cereals, and cotton. Integrating MAS and GS provides a powerful strategy to maximize genetic gains, directly contributing to global food security by meeting the increasing demand for high-quality, resilient crops.
