“…These technologies are likely to continue to play a key role in the development of new plant varieties. One potential impact of NGS is the acceleration of plant breeding programs (Altman et al 2021;Savadi et al 2021). These have the possibility to significantly influence plant breeding programs in the future.…”

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have had a significant impact on plant breeding and genetics, enabling researchers to rapidly and accurately analyze large amounts of genetic data and identify and characterize important plant traits. NGS technologies, such as the study of gene expression and regulation in plants has made extensive use of RNA and genome sequencing, revealing important details about the mechanisms governing these activities. Plant-pathogen interactions have been studied using NGS, which has also been utilized to find pertinent genes. By identifying the genes and genetic variants that are associated with plant resistance to diseases, researchers can cross different plant varieties that are more disease-and pest-resistant. This can help to reduce crop losses and improve crop yields. NGS has been used to study the genetics of plant populations, enabling researchers to identify genetic variations that are associated with important plant traits and to develop new plant varieties with improved performance or desirable characteristics. Despite some challenges, such as complexity of NGS technologies and the limited availability of reference genomes for many plant species, NGS has had a major impact on plant breeding and genetics and is likely to continue to play a significant part in the future evolution of novel plant varieties.

“…Especially in the context of the raging COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, loss of biodiversity, population surge, and continuing reduction of arable land ( Gao et al., 2020 ), developing countries and low-income populations face greater risks of hunger and malnutrition. Promoting research on the biotechnology of diverse crops, including rice, wheat, corn, and soybeans ( Altman et al., 2021 ; Varshney et al., 2021 ), is critical to ensuring the world’s food security and achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ( Qaim, 2020 ).…”

The “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping, created high-yield hybrid rice that can feed tens of millions of people annually. The research achievements of Yuan and his team on low cadmium-accumulating rice and sea rice, in addition to hybrid rice, as well as those of a large number of Chinese scientists engaged in rice research in other six areas, including the rice genome, purple endosperm rice, de novo domestication of tetraploid rice, perennial rice, rice blast disease, and key genes for high nitrogen use efficiency, play an important role in promoting the realization of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 12. The purpose of this review is not to elaborate on the details of each research, but to innovatively summarize the significance and inspiration of these achievements to ensure global food security and achieve sustainable agriculture. In the future, cultivating new rice varieties through modern biotechnology, such as genome editing, will not only reduce hunger, but potentially reduce human-land conflicts, improve the environment, and mitigate climate change.

“…Breeding refers to the human-driven process of cultivating and enhancing animal and plant species, which involves intervening their biological evolution. 5 Over the past century, breeding has continuously progressed from traditional to modern methods to meet human needs. Plant domestication, which began around 10,000 years ago, marked the beginning of crop breeding.…”

Crop breeding has undergone numerous advancements throughout history with the next revolution being uncertain. This review provides an overview of breeding techniques from traditional selective breeding and crossbreeding to modern breeding based on molecular marker‐assisted and genomic selection. Systematic analysis of the mainstream genotyping approaches based on principle, application scenario and supporting software revealed that the changes in genotyping technology have led to an explosion in data. This data expansion will drive a breakthrough in sequencing technology and integrate artificial intelligence with automation. The review also discusses the technological changes associated with breeding during the big data era, including breeding models, genotyping technologies and future intelligent breeding, to provide references for crop breeders. The paper highlights the potential of smart breeding technologies driven by advances in sequencing technology, which will lead to the development of new breeding strategies and accelerate the breeding process.
