note: Special Issue: DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF MOLECULAR MARKERS FOR CROP IMPROVEMENT
abstract: At the current rate of population growth, the global population
is expected to touch at least 9 billion in 2050 (Godfray et al.
2010), putting an excessive pressure on the food, feed and fuel
supply. To meet this challenge, food supply will need to grow
annually by 2–3% (Hawkesford et al. 2013). In the past, global
food production has largely been driven by the development of
dwarf varieties that are responsive to high inputs (both water
and fertilizers), which had negative impact on the environment
leading to decline in crop yields and widening the gap between
potential and realized yields. This has been further exacerbated
by the yield losses of up to 40% due to the diseases and pests
(Oerke 2006). Abiotic stresses such as drought (due to uncertain
and irregular rains), heat (due to rise in temperature), salinity,
mineral toxicities and nutrient deficiencies contribute to either
decline in productivity or complete failure of crops.
