Abstract

Gene pyramiding is a valuable strategy to incorporate multiple genes from diverse sources into a single plant. This approach provides a more robust and durable resistance against various biotic and abiotic stresses. By stacking multiple resistance genes, gene pyramiding enhances the plant's ability to withstand a broader range of challenges, increasing the longevity and effectiveness of resistance in crops and heightened adaptability to changing environmental conditions. This technique has become a critical aspect of modern agriculture as it contributes to increased crop resilience and productivity, ultimately helping to ensure food security and sustainable agriculture practices. Bottom of FormVarious conventional as well as modern techniques can be used to achieve gene pyramiding in a crop for better yielding varieties under different range of environment.
