Genomic Designing for Biotic Stress Resistant Technical Crops

Abstract

Biotic stresses are one of the major problems for ornamental crop loss worldwide. In general, the spreading of biotic stresses is controlled by the spray of chemicals or by other means. But the residue of some chemical is retained in the soil and hence cause groundwater contaminations. Also, the chemicals used for disease control adversely affect pollinators and humans. Despite this conventional and molecular breeding approaches have been applied for disease improvement in several ornamental crops. Genetic engineering also offers an attractive approach for creating biotic stress resistance in ornamentals. But the limited availability of the transformation and tissue culture protocol, genome complexity, lack of gene pool information, high heterozygosity or genetic variability level and limited genomic information of the ornamental crops restricts the development of biotic stress resistant varieties. Nevertheless, the currently available sequencing technology along with newly emerging genome editing tools will definitely help in unravelling the molecular and genetic basis of disease development and herbivory. This understanding will ultimately assist for the improvement of ornamentals against disease and insect pest attack. This book chapter gives a comprehensive look over the diseases and pests affecting the economically important ornamental crops and also highlight the recent progress in developing biotic stress resistance in ornamental crops through conventional breeding, molecular breeding, genetic engineering, RNAi, and genome editing tools.
