Integrating Omics and Gene Editing Tools for Rapid Improvement of Traditional Food Plants for Diversified and Sustainable Food Security

چکیده
Indigenous communities across the globe, especially in rural areas, consume locally available plants known as Traditional Food Plants (TFPs) for their nutritional and health-related needs. Recent research shows that many TFPs are highly nutritious they contain health beneficial metabolites, vitamins, mineral elements other nutrients. Excessive reliance on mainstream staple crops has its own disadvantages. food nowadays considered important of future can act supplementary foods burgeoning global population. They also emergency situations such COVID-19 times pandemics. The current situation necessitates alternative sustainable production. To increase cultivation or improve traits TFPs, it is essential to understand molecular basis genes regulate some components resilience biotic abiotic stresses. integrated use modern omics gene editing technologies provide great opportunities better genetic superior nutrient content, climate-resilient adaptation local agroclimatic zones. Recently, realizing importance benefits scientists have shown interest prospection sequencing improvements, mainstreaming. Integrated genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics ionomics successfully used provided a comprehensive understanding gene-protein-metabolite networks. Combined tools led successful several TFPs. This suggests there ample scope improvement In this article, we highlight importance, progress towards valuable by techniques.

The coming decades are likely to see increasing pressures on the global food system, both on the demand side from increasing population and per capita consumption, and on the supply side from greater competition for inputs and from climate change. This paper argues that the magnitude of the challenge is such that action is needed throughout the food system, on moderating demand, reducing waste,...

Consequently, phyB may be an attractive candidate for allele-mining and targeted breeding approaches to reduce, or enhance, thermomorphogenic growth responses in crop species in efforts to breed climate warming-resilient cultivars. These and other matters will undoubtedly be addressed in future research endeavours following the milestone discovery of phyB acting [102_TD$DIFF]as a ther...
