The first paradigm of plant breeding involves direct selection-based phenotypic observation, followed by predictive using statistical models for quantitative traits constructed based on genetic experimental design and, more recently, incorporation molecular marker genotypes. However, performance or phenotype (P) is determined the combined effects genotype (G), envirotype (E), and environment interaction (GEI). Phenotypes can be predicted precisely training a model data collected from multiple sources, including spatiotemporal omics (genomics, phenomics, enviromics across time space). Integration 3D information profiles (G-P-E), each with multidimensionality, provides both tremendous opportunities great challenges. Here, we review innovative technologies breeding. We then evaluate multidimensional that integrated strategy, particularly envirotypic data, which have largely been neglected in collection are nearly untouched construction. propose smart scheme, genomic-enviromic prediction (iGEP), as an extension genomic prediction, multiomics information, big technology, artificial intelligence (mainly focused machine deep learning). discuss how to implement iGEP, models, environmental indices, factorial structure cross-species prediction.

Summary Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from efforts soybean breeders development breeding technology, large number germplasm has been generated over last 100 years. Nevertheless, needs to be accelerated meet a growing world population, promote sustainable agriculture address future environmental changes. The acceleration highly reliant on discoveries in gene functional studies. release reference genome 2010 significantly facilitated advance genomics. Here, we review research progress omics (genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics proteomics), (germplasm resources databases), discovery (genes that are responsible for traits including yield, flowering maturity, seed quality, stress resistance, nodulation domestication) transformation technology during past decade. At end, also briefly discuss current challenges directions.

Abstract Global warming causes a range of negative impacts on plants especially due to rapid changes in temperatures, alterations rainfall patterns, floods or drought conditions, and outbreaks pests diseases. These, turn, affect crop production reducing the quality quantity agricultural produce. Climatic extremes high population growth significantly increase world’s food demand. Therefore, fulfilling goal attaining security for present future generations is prime importance. Biotechnology enables creating dramatic crops withstand stress which difficult attain using conventional breeding approaches. It viable tool used improve production. The development biotechnological approaches such as genetic engineering, genome editing, RNA-mediated gene silencing armored with next-generation sequencing, mapping have paved way precise faster modifications plants. Such intensive efforts are currently underway desirable cultivars meet demand support sustainable productivity climate change adaptation.

Seed size is one of the most important agronomic traits determining yield crops. Cloning key genes controlling seed and pyramiding their elite alleles will facilitate improvement. To date, few have been identified in soybean, a major crop that provides half plant oil quarter protein globally. Here, through genome-wide association study over 1800 soybean accessions, we determined natural allelic variation at GmST05 (Seed Thickness 05) predominantly controlled thickness germplasm. Further analyses suggested two haplotypes differed significantly transcriptional level. Transgenic experiments demonstrated positively regulated influenced contents, possibly by regulating transcription GmSWEET10a. Population genetic diversity analysis variations were selected during geographical differentiation but not fixed. In summary, determines levels influences quality making it an gene resource for molecular breeding.
