BIOTECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN BREEDING OF SOLANACEOUS VEGETABLE CROPS: ADVANCES IN IN VITRO CULTURE AND MARKER-ASSISTED SELECTION
Solanaceous crops like tomato, brinjal, chilli and potato are vital for global food security. Traditional breeding methods face limitations, including being time-consuming, labour-intensive, and constrained by limited genetic diversity. In vitro and marker-assisted breeding techniques offer solutions to overcome these...
