Emerging Trends and Promising Technologies

Abstract The growing demands for improved seeds of food, vegetables, flowers, other horticultural species, feed, fibre, forage, and fuel crops are driving the global seed industry at a CAGR 6.6%, which is expected to grow from market size USD 63 billion in 2021 86.8 by 2026. This will primarily depend on two key features, genetic enhancement crop variety quality. focus varietal improvement be not only yield increase but also tolerance against biotic abiotic stresses meet challenges climate change, better input use efficiency, nutritional value. Advanced molecular tools techniques including gene editing likely used precision breeding. scope quality, hand, beyond basic parameters purity, germination, health, ability perform under adverse conditions, supplement nutrient deficiency soil, withstand pests during germination early growth stages. Seed technologies complement enhancement, as advancements technology become an integral part future programmes. call more efficient precise determining quality predicting longevity, need developed using advanced marker technologies, 3D multispectral imaging analysis, digital phenotyping, non-destructive methods. Novel approaches hybrid production, apomixis doubled haploidy, integrated further their commercial application. Multi-dimensional taken addressing gaps understanding physiological processes underlying regulation dormancy (and pre-harvest sprouting), recalcitrance, loss viability, priming.
