Implication

Review examines conventional and molecular breeding to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in cereals, suggesting integrated strategies for resilience.

Key Points

  • The aim is to compare conventional and molecular breeding methods for improving abiotic stress tolerance in cereal crops, addressing critical agricultural challenges.
  • Reviewed conventional breeding techniques: germplasm selection, hybridization, backcrossing, recurrent selection.
  • Examined molecular techniques: marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, transgenic methods, genome editing (CRISPR/Cas).
  • Highlighted the integration of both approaches for improved stress resilience.
  • Conventional breeding methods provide some stress-tolerant varieties but are limited by time and low selection precision.
  • Molecular breeding offers greater efficiency and accuracy for complex traits.
  • Integrated strategies combining both methods show promise for accelerating genetic gains in stress-prone environments.
