abstract: There has been significant improvement in production and productivity of
important cereal crops globally as a consequence of the “Green Revolution” and other
initiatives (1). However, today the stage has reached that the available traditional
methods of crop improvement are not sufficient to provide enough and staple food grains
to the constantly growing world population (2). This situation is projected to be worse by
the year 2050 especially in context of climate change (3). In other words, the
conventional plant breeding practices may not able to achieve the sustainability in today’s
agriculture....
