Water stress causes large agricultural losses worldwide and deteriorates its quality. Drought tolerance in plants is a complex trait governed by multigenes and infleunce of various environmental factors affecting the expression of these genes. Thus...
Dry pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a cool-season food legume rich in protein (20–25%). With increasing health and ecosystem awareness, organic plant-based protein demand has increased; however, the protein quality of organic dry pea has not been well...
It is well known that abiotic stresses, such as extreme temperatures, high salinity, and drought, can have a detrimental impact on crops all over the world. Abiotic stress is caused by distressing environmental conditions that make it hard for plants...
CONTEXT
Global food systems are confronted with multifaceted challenges, including climate change, malnutrition, and biodiversity loss, disproportionately affecting the livelihoods of millions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries...
Genomic selection, the application of genomic prediction (GP) models to select candidate individuals, has significantly advanced in the past two decades, effectively accelerating genetic gains in plant breeding. This article provides a holistic...
The utilization of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas-based genome-editing technologies holds significant promise in the realm of crop genome manipulation since it enables precise modifications and expedites the...
The community-based breeding program (CBBP) is currently active in implementing indigenous breed improvement strategies to achieve genetic progress, economic benefits, and livelihood improvements for smallholders in the pioneer sheep breed...
