Abstract
The increasing global population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 from the current 7.7 billion, which is going to significantly impact food availability. Therefore, current global agricultural production needs to be increased to feed the unconstrained growing population. The changing climatic condition due to anthropogenic activities also makes the conditions more challenging to meet the required crop productivity in the future. Potato is third most consumed staple food. The current cultivation and demand of potato is particularly more in developing countries with high levels of poverty, hunger, and malnutrition because it is cheap source of nutrition and easily available. Potato is severely infected by a number of diseases, insect pests, and abiotic environmental conditions. Amidst the backdrop of climate change, the situation is deteriorating. Projections indicate that the average potato productivity in India's primary potato-growing states, responsible for approximately 90% of the nation's total potato output, is expected to decline by 2.0% in the 2050s and a more substantial 6.4% in the 2080s. Therefore to develop tolerance in plants to cope with changing environmental condition is need of hour to feed the overgrowing population. In this review, we discussed the application of CRISPR to enhance the crop productivity and develop biotic and abiotic stress-tolerant in potato to face the current changing climatic conditions is also discussed. The review also sheds light on the future prospects of CRISPR/Cas technology for potato breeding, including potential challenges and opportunities.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
