Overview

Editorial highlights strategies to enhance crop resilience against extreme weather and pests in agriculture, suggesting valuable genetic contributions from orphan crops.

Key Points

  • This editorial aims to address the urgent need for crops that can withstand environmental extremes and pest pressures.
  • Discusses the integration of orphan crops with genomic and biotechnological tools.
  • Evaluates the use of CRISPR-Cas9 for editing stress-tolerance traits.
  • Outlines the role of AI and big data in predictive breeding.
  • Highlights de novo domestication and speed breeding for faster crop development.
  • Emphasizes the underutilization of orphan crops in mainstream agriculture despite their resilience.
  • Presents orphan crops as vital for genetic diversity and stress-tolerance traits for climate adaptation.
  • Notes that current agronomic practices can improve biodiversity and reduce reliance on chemicals.
