Ideotype breeding is a strategy that models traits and introduces them into a model or crop species to assess their impact on yield. Understanding the connection between genotype and phenotype is essential for successful ideotype breeding. Advancements in genome engineering tools, transformation efficiency, and genotyping techniques enable the widespread adoption of ideotype breeding to complement conventional breeding. This approach, coupled with biotechnological tools, can contribute to knowledge-based legume breeding and accelerate yield gains for food security.
Ideotype breeding is a strategy whereby traits are modeled a pnioni and then introduced into a model or crop species to assess their impact on yield. Thus, knowledge about the connection between genotype and phenotype is required for ideotype breeding to be deployed successfully. The growing understanding of the genetic basis of yield-related traits, combined with increasingly efficient genome engineering tools, improved transformation efficiency, and high-throughput genotyping of regenerants paves the way for the widespread adoption of ideotype breeding as a complement to conventional breeding. We briefly discuss how ideotype breeding, coupled with such state-of-the-art biotechnological tools, could contribute to knowledge-based legume breeding and accelerate yield gains to ensure food security in the coming decades.
