Biotechnological Interventions for Reducing the Juvenility in Perennials

During shoot apex development, the plants undergo a very complex transition phase of flowering for successful reproduction, seed/cone setting and fruit development. The conversion vegetative meristems to floral depends upon numerous endogenous, exogenous factors genes development parts. perennial crops suffer from limitation innate ability keep some in state polycarpic growth habit leading long juvenile phase. Conventional breeding approaches viz. selection early parental lines, flower thinning grafting are time-consuming requiring more time release new cultivar which is undesirable rapid crop improvement. best way accelerate plant improvement programs reduce induction through utilization biotechnological approaches. allow transmission an gene progeny Mendelian fashion major advantage interventions. introgression traits non-commercial germplasm or sexually compatible species aspects will act as boon future studies. present review gives overview various accompanying implementation including overexpression studies, RNA interference, Virus-induced CRISPR-Cas that help reducing period crops.
