“…157 In case sexual compatibility does not exist between MWRs and cultivated maize, transgenesis through genetic engineering and genome editing appears to be a better option because it removes linkage drage. 1,158 However, it is very cumbersome and expensive process and requires lengthy regulatory framework before approval for general cultivation. 155 In summary, loss of genetic diversity in maize crop rendered it vulnerable to climate change but MWRs, offering valuable genetic resources to overcome this issue.…”

Climate change, particularly drought and heat stress, may slash agricultural productivity by 25.7% by 2080, with maize being the hardest hit. Therefore, unraveling the molecular nature of plant responses to these stressors is vital for the development of climate-smart maize. This manuscript's primary objective was to examine how maize plants respond to these stresses, both individually and in combination. Additionally, the paper delved into harnessing the potential of maize wild relatives as a valuable genetic resource and leveraging AI-based technologies to boost maize resilience. The role of multiomics approaches particularly genomics and transcriptomics in dissecting the genetic basis of stress tolerance was also highlighted. The way forward was proposed to utilize a bunch of information obtained through omics technologies by an interdisciplinary state-of-the-art forward-looking bigdata, cyberagriculture system, and AI-based approach to orchestrate the development of climate resilient maize genotypes.

“…To add fuel to the fire, this challenge needs to be addressed in a 2 °C warmer world with scarce energy, water, and land resources. Importantly, in developing countries 80% of requirement will be met from increased crop production and cropping intensity and only 20% from expanding arable land resources. − …”
