Abstracts

Recent advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering have revolutionized plant breeding through tools like genomic selection, CRISPR/Cas9, high-throughput phenotyping, and molecular markers. These technologies boost precision, efficiency, and resilience in crop development, creating superior varieties with higher seed yield and quality, plus better adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. Genome editing tools, in particular, speed up and sharpen breeding processes, while artificial intelligence and bioinformatics handling massive datasets to guide smarter decisions-promise to drive plant breeding forward, especially against devastating abiotic challenges.
