Integrating genomics, multi-omics, CRISPR and speed breeding for stress-resilient vegetable legume improvement

Holistic approaches for improvement of maize resistance against lodging stress: current status and future perspective

Advances in the Integration of Genomic and Phenomic Tools in Cowpea Breeding for Improving Stress Resilience and Grain Yield and Quality

Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a multi‐use crop highly valued as a food crop, high‐protein fodder, and sustainable cover crop. Yet, it remains underused, and yields in most growing regions are below the crop's potential due to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses. Recent advances in genomics and pheno...

Molecular Targets and Trait Innovation in CRISPR-Edited Vegetable Crops: An Up-to-Date Review (2020–2026)

Vegetable crops are of fundamental nutritional and economic importance worldwide, yet their improvement through conventional breeding remains time consuming and constrained by genomic complexity. For that reason, over the period 2020–2026, CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing, a new genomic technique (NGT), has emerged a...

A systems breeding framework integrating pangenomics multiomics phenomics and precision genome editing for reproductive stage drought resilience in rice

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is highly vulnerable to drought during the reproductive phase, with yield losses exceeding 50% due to spikelet sterility, pollen abortion, and impaired grain filling. Progress through conventional breeding has been constrained by the polygenic nature of drought tolerance and by strong genotype ×...

Genome Editing in Solanaceae: Harnessing CRISPR-Cas Technology for Precision Crop Improvement

This review synthesizes recent advances, identifies critical limitations, and outlines future opportunities for deploying CRISPR/Cas technology to achieve next-generation breeding and food system resilience.

Multi-Omics Approaches to Improve Rice Quality Characteristics under Abiotic and Biotic Environmental Stresses

: Rice, the most widely consumed grain by billions of people worldwide, has become the first crop to have a complete genome sequence and serves as a model crop for monocots. Advancements in multi-omics methodologies have provided a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying stress tolerance in r...
