Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Plant Sciences Science & Technology
The world’s population will almost exceed 8 billion in 2022 (https://www.unfpa.org/swp2022). In contrast, the available area of cultivated land is decreasing every year. Therefore, it is a big challenge for international agriculture to ensure the food security of such a huge population (Pathirana and Carimi, 2022). With the recent COVID-2019 pandemic, global warming, economic slowdowns, poverty, and inequality have increased unemployment, resulted in food insecurity, and affected millions of people globally (FAO, 2021). The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021, https://www.fao.org/3/cb4474en/online/cb4474en.html). To address the increasing food demands, it is crucial to develop improved crop varieties with enhanced yield through the utilization of diverse germplasm resources (Varshney et al., 2021a).
