Abstract
Globally, the productivity varies in a great margin and is under threat from genetic erosion and the alarming increase in population led to an immense burden on agriculture. The advent of several key domestication genes alongside the development of trending technologies for accurate manipulation of several target genes simultaneously renders de novo domestication a roadmap towards new era of crop improvement.
