Plant Genetics for Climate-Resilient Food Security
Received Date: Jul 01, 2025 / Published Date: Jul 29, 2025
Abstract
Climate change necessitates the development of resilient crops. This research explores advancements in plant genetics and breeding for climate-resilient crop development. It details efforts to identify and introg specific genes conferring tolerance to drought, heat, and salinity in key crops like wheat, rice, maize, and soybean. Methodologies including marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing are highlighted for their role in accelerating breeding cycles. The importance of leveraging genetic diversity in landraces and understanding epigenetic regulation for crop adaptation is also emphasized.
