Overview

Review highlights multiomics and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing for abiotic stress resilience in major food crops, indicating promising pathways for sustainable global food security.

Key Points

  • To review the molecular mechanisms underlying crop responses to abiotic stress and evaluate how multiomics profiling and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing can be deployed to enhance climate resilience.
  • Synthesized findings across genomic and proteomic profiling investigations characterizing stress-responsive genes and signaling proteins in crop plants.
  • Evaluated functional applications of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted gene editing, focusing on critical regulatory targets such as the OsCKX2 cytokinin oxidase gene in agricultural varieties.
  • Abiotic stressors generate 40–70% of primary food crop yield losses globally, with drought reducing yields by 50% in rice, 42% in soybean, 40% in maize, 21% in wheat, and 27–40% in chickpea.
  • Soil salinity reduces productivity across nearly 20% of irrigated agricultural land, compounded by temperature extremes and heavy metal toxicity that disrupt cellular homeostasis.
  • Genomics and proteomics identified key mediators of stress perception and adaptation, including OsPYL9, AtWRKY8, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and glutathione transferase.
