| description | With its controlled environment, protected cultivation is advantageous and effective for breeding programs. This distinct setting also guarantees that fresh vegetables meet high quality standards. The controlled environment allows for precise monitoring and tuning of breeding efforts, a critical factor in continuously improving the quality of fresh vegetable production. Classical breeding strategies include hybridization, pedigree selection, backcrossing, recombination, and marker-assisted breeding. However, advanced techniques like phenomics and genome editing are revolutionizing the field. These methods accelerate phenotyping and aid in identifying traits and genetic variants linked to quality characteristics. Modern biotechnological tools, specifically genetic engineering and gene editing methods like CRISPR/Cas, have enhanced a wide array of traits in numerous vegetable species. These technological advancements have the potential to effectively address challenges associated with stress resistance, product quality, and shelf-life, thereby presenting promising prospects for the advancement of agriculture. The protracted process of developing new vegetable cultivars with reduced physiological issues through contemporary techniques is an enduring endeavor. |
