Alternative Strategies for Multi-Stress Tolerance and Yield Improvement in Millets.

摘要: Millets are important cereal crops cultivated in arid and semiarid regions of the world, particularly Africa southeast Asia. Climate change has triggered multiple abiotic stresses plants that main causes crop loss worldwide, reducing average yield for most by more than 50%. Although millets tolerant to including drought high temperatures, further improvement is needed make them resilient unprecedented effects climate associated environmental stresses. Incorporation stress tolerance traits will improve their productivity marginal environments help overcoming future food shortage due change. Recently, approaches such as application plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) have been used growth development, well crops. Moreover, with advance next-generation sequencing technology, genome editing, using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) system increasingly develop varieties different In this paper, innate ability tolerate alternative boost resistance were thoroughly reviewed. several stress-resistant genes identified related monocots rice (Oryza sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum), maize (Zea mays), other species which orthologs could be manipulated CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing techniques resilience productivity. These cutting-edge strategies expected bring group orphan at forefront scientific research potential contribution global security.
