ROLE OF PLANT BREEDING TO MAINTAINING FOOD SECURITY IN THE FACE OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
Keywords:
global warming, food crisis, plant breeding, genetic variationAbstract
Genetic engineering and plant transformation play crucial roles in enhancing crops by introducing beneficial foreign genes or suppressing native gene expression. Genetically modified crops offer advantages such as herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, tolerance to abiotic stress, disease resistance, and improved nutrition. Transgenic technology integration has shown significant advantages, such as increased crop yields, less dependence on pesticides and insecticides, decreased CO2 emissions, and decreased crop production costs. In contrast to transgenic crops, some other techniques can help produce crops without foreign genes, which may gain more consumer acceptance and quicker regulatory approvals. This review provides an extensive overview of various accomplishments in genetic modifications and their present status.
