The challenges face in the 21st century are greater than those faced in the last century. Agriculture is called up on to produce more food and feed, more fuel and more industrial row materials. Modern plant breeding used in vitro, molecular and transgenic approaches with conventional breeding will solve Problems and will play a key role in achieving those goals.Identification, isolation and functional analysis of targeted and important genes that are resistant to abiotic and biotic stress helps to develop new cultivars to boost production and productivity in the targeted environment.
