“…Population genetics is a critical field that focuses on understanding genetic variation within and between populations, with significant implications for crop improvement [1]. It plays a vital role in crop improvement by facilitating the identification of desirable traits (plant pathogen resistance) and genetic markers, and developing effective breeding strategies [2,3]. Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of crop populations through population genetics is crucial for effective breeding strategies and enhancing crop improvement programs.…”

This study discusses the importance of population genetics in the context of crop improvement and its role in addressing challenges related to food security. Population genetics is crucial in identifying desirable traits and genetic markers, developing breeding strategies and improving the efficacy of crop improvement programs. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations emphasizes the importance of crop improvement in addressing global food security challenges and highlights the role of population genetics in improving crop yields, developing new varieties, and increasing the resilience of crops to environmental stressors. By using population genetics to improve crop yields, disease resistance, and other desirable traits, breeders can help ensure a sustainable and secure food supply for future generations.

Plant diseases caused by pathogens pose significant threats to agricultural productivity and food security worldwide. The traditional approach of relying on chemical pesticides for disease management has proven to be unsustainable, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives. One promising strategy is to enhance plant resistance against pathogens through various methods. This review aims to unveil and explore effective methods for stimulating plant resistance, transforming vulnerable plants into vigilant defenders against pathogens. We discuss both conventional and innovative approaches, including genetic engineering, induced systemic resistance (ISR), priming, and the use of natural compounds. Furthermore, we analyze the underlying mechanisms involved in these methods, highlighting their potential advantages and limitations. Through an understanding of these methods, scientists and agronomists can develop novel strategies to combat plant diseases effectively while minimizing the environmental impact. Ultimately, this research offers valuable insights into harnessing the plant’s innate defense mechanisms and paves the way for sustainable disease management practices in agriculture.
