Ensuring food and nutritional security along with sustainable growth in the immediate
future is a serious challenge faced by developing countries like India. To meet these
demands, strategic research for development of crop varieties with higher production
potential along with resilience to changing climate and resistance to new plant
pathogens and pests is needed. Recent advancements in biotechnology led to cost
effective, accurate, high-throughput genome sequencing, advanced phenomics
platforms, CRISPR based gene-editing, molecular breeding, etc. which are
complementing the conventional breeding and add precision to crop improvement
efforts. Better tools for exploration of germplasm and conservation, understanding pangenome and its utilization for gene discovery, use of induced mutants and natural
variants in genetic dissection of complex traits will elevate our level of knowledge on
genotype response in different environment. Availability of better algorithms and
software for analysing data from huge phenotyping data under controlled and field
conditions, with robust molecular marker technology enhanced the pace of varietal
development for higher yield, enhanced nutritional value with tolerance against abiotic
and biotic stresses. By addressing few obstacles related to the application of these
emerging tools and techniques in agriculture, it will be possible to fulfil the existing
needs and potential food demands of the burgeoning population.
