Abstract:
Genetic variety refers to the total number of genetic traits that comprise a species' genetic composition. It is distinct from genetic variability, which refers to the proclivity of hereditary characteristics to change. Crop diversity refers to genetic and phenotypic variation in agriculturally important plants. Plant breeders can develop new and improved cultivars with desirable characteristics such as many agronomical yield traits and disease resistance due to the diversity of agricultural plant genetic resources. Agricultural scientists are concerned about the loss of genetic diversity among cultivated plant species. Breaking yield constraints and crop plants will become challenging, and breeders will be unable to meet the demands caused by an increasing population. Climate change and other unforeseen events increase the importance of genetic diversity because it may be the source of several unique features that provide tolerance to various biotic and abiotic pressures. Genetic diversity leads to a variety of major agriculturally important phenomena, such as heterosis and transgressive segregation. As a result, the primary goals of any crop development programme are to identify genetically diverse lines, if they exist, or to create variations in the line and use them in subsequent research programmes. To use genetic diversity wisely in this context, it is necessary to understand all of its facts, including the variables influencing genetic variability, various methods of diversity analysis, measurement, and the software used for statistical data analysis. An effort is being made in this review to compile broadly practical ideas in the field of crop plant genetic diversity, which could be critical for advancing understanding and constructive research. This will enable agricultural researchers in their breeding efforts.
