Description Over the past decade, genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) has been instrumental
in harnessing the potential of modern genome resources and characterizing and
exploiting allelic variation for germplasm enhancement and cultivar development.
Sustaining GAB in the future (GAB 2.0) will rely upon a suite of new approaches
that fast-track targeted manipulation of allelic variation for creating novel diversity
and facilitate their rapid and efficient incorporation in crop improvement programs.
Genomic breeding strategies that optimize crop genomes with accumulation of
beneficial alleles and purging of deleterious alleles will be indispensable for
designing future crops. In coming decades, GAB 2.0 is expected to play a crucial
role in breeding more climate-smart crop cultivars with higher nutritional value in
a cost-effective and timely manner.
