Overview of plant genetics and breeding in the era of pangenomics and genome editing: Contributions from our research group

Climate change intensifies abiotic stress and disease pressure on crops, while domestication has narrowed genetic diversity. Advances in high-throughput sequencing, pangenomics and genome editing enable discovery, validation and precise deployment of beneficial alleles from landraces and wild relatives. These approaches transform plant breeding into a predictive, sustainable discipline, illustrated here on barley and wheat resistance breeding.
