Advance breeding approaches for quality enhancement in apiaceae family
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The Apiaceae family encompasses a range of vital culinary and medicinal plants, including carrots, celery, coriander, fennel, and cumin. This research aims to provide a thorough review of the historical context and recent scientific advancements related to the Apiaceae family, focusing on traditional and molecular breeding methods, bioactive compounds, medicinal uses, nanotechnology, and genomics. It highlights the discovery and application of various genetic markers, regulatory elements, and functional genes to improve the quality of both food and medicinal crops within this family. Additionally, the study explores current trends in Apiaceae research, such as omics studies to identify novel functional genes and metabolites, population genetics analyses, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that uncover genetic variations linked to key agronomic traits. It also emphasizes advancements in genetic transformation, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, and nanotechnology. This study serves as an important resource for both fundamental and applied research on Apiaceae crops and medicinal plants.
