Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Food security is an ongoing problem, and current staple foods are not sufficient to overcome
challenges such as the present COVID-19 pandemic. We propose here that small millets …

Current agricultural and food systems encourage research and development on major
crops, neglecting regionally important minor crops. Small millets include a group of small …

Chickpea is an important leguminous crop with potential to provide dietary proteins to both
humans and animals. It also ameliorates soil nitrogen through biological nitrogen fixation …

Millets are a class of nutrient‐rich coarse cereals with high resistance to abiotic stress; thus,
they guarantee food security for people living in areas with extreme climatic conditions and …

Climate change threatens global food and nutritional security through negative effects on
crop growth and agricultural productivity. Many countries have adopted ambitious climate …

Crop production is the primary goal of agricultural activities, which is always taken into
consideration. However, global agricultural systems are coming under increasing pressure …

Several crops with enormous nutritional values were once largely consumed by mankind.
However, due to selective domestication, most of them had become marginally cultivated in …

Plant abiotic stresses negative affects growth and development, causing a massive
reduction in global agricultural production. Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a major oilseed …

Main conclusion Present review describes the molecular tools and strategies deployed in
