Heavy metal pollution is one of the most devastating abiotic factors, significantly damaging crops and human health. One serious problems it causes a rise in cadmium (Cd) toxicity. Cd highly toxic with negative biological role, enters plants via soil–plant system. stress induces series disorders plants’ morphological, physiological, biochemical processes initiates inhibition seed germination, ultimately resulting reduced growth. Fiber such as kenaf, jute, hemp, cotton, flax have high industrial importance often face issue Various techniques been introduced to counter rising threats toxicity, including reducing content soil, mitigating effects stress, genetic improvements plant tolerance against this stress. For decades, breeders trying develop Cd-tolerant fiber through identification transformation novel genes. Still, complex mechanism has hindered progress breeding. These are ideal candidates for phytoremediation heavy metals contaminated soils. Hence, increased uptake, accumulation, translocation below-ground parts (roots) above-ground (shoots, leaves, stems) can help clean agricultural lands safe use food crops. Earlier studies indicated that detoxification, developing these stresses genes fruitful approaches. This review aims highlight role some conventional molecular key Molecular mainly involve QTL mapping GWAS. However, more focus given transcriptome TFs analysis explore potential genomic regions involved will serve source valuable information on crops, allowing further in-depth analyses identify critical breeding, like engineering CRISPR/Cas9.
