Advancements in genomics tools have led to the discovery of many genes, but their associated functions still need to be characterized. Recent developments in reverse genetic approaches have made it possible to identify the function of genes controlling nutritional and stress-related traits. This article reviews the current status and prospects of using these approaches to breed nutrient-rich and climate resilient cereal and food legume crops.
In the last decade, advancements in genomics tools and techniques have led to the discovery of many genes. Most of these genes still need to be characterized for their associated function and therefore, such genes remain underutilized for breeding the next generation of improved crop varieties. The recent developments in different reverse genetic approaches have made it possible to identify the function of genes controlling nutritional, biochemical, and metabolic traits imparting drought, heat, cold, salinity tolerance as well as diseases and insect-pests. This article focuses on reviewing the current status and prospects of using reverse genetic approaches to breed nutrient-rich and climate resilient cereal and food legume crops.
