Unraveling the Potentials around the Digital Sequencing Data in Agricultural and Horticultural Crops

The rapid advancement of digital technology is causing revolutionary shifts in a number of fields. Digital sequencing data has transformed agricultural and horticultural research by providing deep insights into crop genetics, disease resistance, and stress responses. This review explores the impact of digital sequencing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9, TALENs, and ZFNs on crop improvement, emphasizing advancements in genome editing for enhancing traits like disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance. The production of resilient crop varieties has been made possible by the integration of multi-omics data, which has improved our understanding of plant-pathogen interactions and environmental reactions. Even with these developments, problems like off-target impacts and complicated regulations still exist, requiring more research. In the future, these efforts will focus on improving data integration, creating sophisticated bioinformatics tools, and investigating the roles of non-coding DNA in agricultural characteristics and environmental adaptation.
