Genomics is an interdisciplinary approach that characterizes and quantifies important genes of an organism through mapping, editing, functional, and structural studies. Genomics-based strategies have revolutionized the genetic enhancement of crops by dissecting the complex architecture of various important traits in plants. Incorporate genomic tools in cereal breeding can assist in enhancing their yield and productivity. Owing to the advancement of genomic resources and novel molecular markers, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) via tagging of important genes or markers linked to useful agronomic and physiological traits and QTL mapping have become an important approach utilized in marker assisted breeding for improvement or introgression of these traits. In addition, advancements in sequencing technologies provide complete sequences of various important cereals that further provide insights …
