This is exacerbated reduction cultivable land and adverse effects climate change on crop yield quantity quality. Breeders actively embrace cutting-edge omics technologies to pursue resilient genotypes response these pressing issues. In this context, new breeding techniques (NBTs) are emerging as future agriculture, offering solution introduce crops that can ensure security, particularly against challenging events. Indeed, search domestication genes well genetic modification loci wild species using genome editing tools crucial steps carrying out de novo plants without compromising their background. Current knowledge allows us take different paths from those taken early Neolithic farmers, where has opposed natural selection. process traits alleles negatively correlated with high resource environment performance probably eradicated through artificial selection, while others may have been lost randomly due bottlenecks. Thus, led highly productive little diversity, owing loss valuable had evolved tolerate biotic abiotic stresses.

Global food security depends heavily on a few staple crops, while orphan despite being less studied, offer the potential benefits of environmental adaptation and enhanced nutritional traits, especially in changing climate. Major crops have benefited from genomics-based breeding, initially using single genomes later pangenomes. Recent advances DNA sequencing enabled pangenome construction for several offering more comprehensive understanding genetic diversity. Orphan crop research has now entered pangenomics era applying these pangenomes with advanced selection methods genome editing technologies can transform neglected species into broader agricultural significance. A reference is not enough to harness full variation species. Here, authors review principles, applications improvement, discuss possible ways support pangenomics-driven molecular breeding.

Peanut is an important food and feed crop, providing oil protein nutrients. Germins germin-like proteins (GLPs) are ubiquitously present in plants playing numerous roles defense, growth development, different signaling pathways. However, the GLP members have not been comprehensively studied peanut at genome-wide scale. We carried out a identification of genes genome. were identified comprehensively, gene structure, genomic positions, motifs/domains distribution patterns, phylogenetic history detail. Promoter Cis-elements, duplication, collinearity, miRNAs, protein-protein interactions, expression determined. A total 84 GLPs ( AhGLPs ) found genome cultivated peanut. These clustered into six groups. Segmental duplication events played key role evolution , purifying selection pressure was underlying process. Most possessed well-maintained structure motif organization within same group. The promoter regions contained several cis-elements responsive to ‘phytohormones’, ‘growth development’, ‘light induction’. Seven microRNAs (miRNAs) from families targeting 25 . Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis showed that highly enriched nutrient reservoir activity, aleurone grain, external encapsulating multicellular organismal reproductive process, response acid chemicals, indicating their biological roles. AhGLP14, AhGLP38, AhGLP54, AhGLP76 expressed most tissues, while AhGLP26, AhGLP29, AhGLP62 abundant pericarp. AhGLP7, AhGLP20, AhGLP21, etc., specifically high embryo, AhGLP12, AhGLP18, AhGLP40, AhGLP78 AhGLP82 under hormones, water, temperature stress. qRT-PCR results accordance with transcriptome data.
