Description Enhancing crops’ agronomic traits and resilience to stress is crucial for promoting food security and sustainable agriculture, particularly during climate change and for the
growing global population. Genetic identification and characterisation are pivotal for comprehending the mechanisms underlying these traits and crops’ responses to stress. Various genetic tools and methodologies, such as quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, genomewide association studies (GWAS), marker-assisted selection (MAS), genomic selection (GS), and functional genomics techniques, like transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, have facilitated the recognition of crucial genomic regions associated with significant agronomic traits, like yield, quality, and resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. Hence, identifying leads for new genetic gains for crop breeding programs includes developing improved cultivars with heightened yield potential, enhanced nutritional quality, and resilience to stresses from pests and environmental factors. Leveraging genetic diversity through germplasm resources and molecular breeding strategies may be used to address these challenges.
