P. Yukesh Kumar1, D. Koripalli Plant breeding, disease, resistance, yield 63-65 Volume 1 (5) September, 2025 Plant breeding looks forward by integrating cutting-edge technologies like genomics, gene editing (CRISPR-Cas9), and data analytics with traditional methods to develop crops that are high-yielding, resilient to climate change, and nutritionally enhanced. Key future in plant breeding and directions are given here. Precision and speed with genomics and gene editing are components. The future of plant breeding is focused on precision and efficiency. Genomic tools, such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and molecular markers, enable breeders to identify and track genes for desirable traits at the DNA level, rather than waiting for the plant to mature to observe the physical trait (phenotyping).
