PLANT GENETICS AND GENOMICS: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN GENOMIC RESEARCH AND CROP YIELD ENHANCEMENT

Abstract

Crop yield enhancement through breakthroughs in plant genetics and genomics is revolutionizing the genetic blueprints of plants. This paper discusses the integration of the modern genomic tools, including genome editing, transcriptomics, and phenomics, with traditional breeding to enhance crop varieties through superior quality. It presents case studies and technological innovations as insights into how plant genomics develops solutions to global food security challenges while upholding sustainable agricultural practices.
