| description | Lactuca sativa L. is a leafy vegetable crop of the Asteraceae family, widely cultivated throughout the world. The main breeding trends for lettuce include higher yields, better taste quality, earliness, and resistance to abiotic and biotic stressors. Some wild Lactuca spp. have actively been employed by lettuce breeders as donors of resistance to various diseases. Conventional and biotechnological breeding methods are both currently used to develop new lettuce cultivars. This is an overview of the main advances in the production of interspecific Lactuca hybrids, including the use of cell and tissue culture techniques, and genetic engineering. Studying artificial hybridization and natural populations makes it possible to identify evolutionary relationships among various Lactuca spp. Somatic hybridization is an overlooked but promising technology in Lactuca breeding: it allows a breeder to obtain a wider range of variations, and is beyond the strict control by GMO laws. This technique faces problems associated with complicated protoplast regeneration and the loss of reproductive ability in hybrids. Genome-editing methods are more effective and better controllable, but society is still wary of any interference with the plant genome and legally regulates the sale of GM products as food. Thus, researchers are challenged with the task to improve these techniques. |
