Why is it important?
Provides an exhaustive list of existing and the upcoming molecular breeding tools. This is important to breeders and researchers working on rust and other disease resistance in wheat and other crop plants.
Perspectives
Some of novel NBT strategies described in the article may form a part of breeding programmes in the near future as the NBTs provide a large set of tools for engineering resistance as well as other important agronomic traits.
