With global warming, drought stress is becoming increasingly severe, causing serious impacts on crop yield and quality. In order to survive under adverse conditions such as stress, plants have evolved a certain mechanism cope. The tolerance mainly improved through the synergistic effect of regulatory pathways, transcription factors, phytohormone, stomatal movement, osmotic substances, sRNA, antioxidant systems. This study summarizes research progress plant resistance, in provide reference for improving resistance cultivating drought-resistant varieties genetic engineering technology.

Ongoing global climate change suggests that crops will be exposed to environmental stresses may affect their productivity, leading possible food shortages. Among these stresses, drought is the most important contributor yield loss in agriculture. Drought stress negatively affects various physiological, genetic, biochemical, and morphological characteristics of plants. also causes pollen sterility flower development, resulting reduced seed production fruit quality. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) one economically different parts world, including Mediterranean region, it known limits crop with economic consequences. Many tomato cultivars are currently cultivated, they differ terms physiological traits; as such, represent a reservoir potential candidates for coping stress. This review aims summarize contribution specific physio-molecular traits tolerance how vary among cultivars. At genetic proteomic level, genes encoding osmotins, dehydrins, aquaporins, MAP kinases seem improve varieties. Genes ROS-scavenging enzymes chaperone proteins critical. In addition, involved sucrose CO2 metabolism increase tolerance. plants by adjusting photosynthesis, modulating ABA, pigment levels, altering sugar metabolism. As result, we underline depends on interaction several mechanisms operating at levels. Therefore, selection drought-tolerant must consider all characteristics. exhibit distinct, albeit overlapping, multilevel responses allow differentiation individual Consequently, this highlights importance biodiversity an efficient response preserving quality

Drought stress severely threatens the yield of cereal crops. Therefore, understanding molecular mechanism drought response plants is crucial for developing drought-tolerant cultivars. NAC transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in abiotic plants, but functions TFs sorghum are largely unknown. Here, we characterized a gene, SbNAC9, and found that SbNAC9 can be highly induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG)-simulated dehydration treatments. We therefore investigated function response. Sorghum seedlings overexpressing showed enhanced drought-stress tolerance with higher chlorophyll content photochemical efficiency PSII, stronger root systems, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capability than wild-type. In contrast, silenced virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) weakened tolerance. Furthermore, directly activate putative peroxidase SbC5YQ75 ABA biosynthesis SbNCED3. Silencing SbNCED3 led to compromised reduced seedlings, respectively. our findings revealed role may shed light on genetic improvement other crop under conditions.

Advancements in molecular approaches have been utilized to breed crops with a wide range of economically valuable traits develop superior cultivars. This review provides concise overview modern breakthroughs plant production. Genotyping and high-throughput phenotyping methods for predictive breeding are briefly discussed. In this study, we explore contemporary techniques producing desirable crop varieties. These include cisgenesis, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR/Cas9) gene editing, haploid induction, de novo domestication. We examine the speed approach—a strategy cultivating plants under controlled conditions. further highlight significance technologies efficiently utilizing agricultural resources production urban areas. The deciphering genomes has led development extensive DNA markers, quantitative trait loci (QTLs), pangenomes associated various traits. shift genotypic selection considerably expedites process. Based on population used, connection between phenotypic data several genetic elements, including genes, alleles that can be used genomic editing. integration genomic-assisted cutting-edge genome editing tools made it feasible rapidly manipulate generate multiple cycles accelerate Breakthroughs substantial improvements methods.
