Prevalence of hunger and under-nutrition among the world population at alarming rates challenges the food security.
Further, the instability in global wheat production in past two years and the projection of continuing decrease in wheat
inventories predominantly due to climate change add-up to food insecurity. The global climate change imposing biotic and
abiotic stress made the crop improvement more challenging. However, the timely release of wheat genome sequence holds
the promise of evading these tribulations, provided the researchers and breeders pertinently utilize the genome information.
In view of this, this short-review highlights the intact insights for the wheat research community on how to implement the
genome sequence data in breeding and engineering transgenic wheat with enhanced biotic and abiotic stress tolerance.
