The plant coriander, family umbelliferae, has applications in both the culinary and
traditional medical fields. It has a wide variety of phytochemicals, including polyphenols,
vitamins, and many phytosterols. These phytoconstituents are responsible for the pharmacological
activities of coriander, which include anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and
analgesic actions. The following online resources were utilised to conduct an electronic
search of the available literature: PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect. Studies
in traditional breeding techniques resulted in the production of new species over time. In
this light, it is of the utmost need to carry out fundamental research on contemporary breeding
programmes to ascertain coriander's quantity and quality performance. Through the use of
genome sequencing technology and various molecular markers, researchers were able to examine
the genetic diversity and population structure of the coriander plant. As a result of these studies, coriander
breeding made some significant strides forward. The objective of this manuscript is to provide attention on the significant
role that advances in biotechnology play in the breeding of coriander and to further evaluate and discuss
the effectiveness of C. sativum in the treatment of several diseases. In addition to this, the manuscript includes a
discussion of the phytoconstituents that may be found in coriander seed and that have been collected from all over
the world. In light of this information, the application of biotechnological methods has the potential to improve
coriander breeding.
