Description By 2050, the world’s population is expected to reach
9.8 billion according to United Nations predictions
(https://www.un.org/en/desa/world-population-projectedreach-
98-billion-2050-and-112-billion-2100). As a result,
crop yields must roughly double in order to feed an expanding global population while still satisfying consumer demands for grain quality and nutrition. In addition to enhancing the nutritional value of food crops, making available affordable, nutrient-dense food, especially to those who are economically disadvantaged, will be a central pillar to address food and nutritional security. The strategy for improving grain quality and nutritional traits in breeding programs has been prioritized with the recent advancements in phenotyping of seeds and grains (metabolomics, mineral and vitamins, assessing the quality of starch, proteins and lipids, and capturing consumer preferred traits), sequencing technologies to do high-throughput genotyping, functional genomics aided gene discovery, high-resolution trait mapping and superior
haplotype discovery, as well deploying genomic selection
tools in a variety of crops (Pandey et al., 2016; Varshney
et al., 2019).
