“…TILLING technique was first discovered by McCallum in the late 1990s who worked on Arabidopsis to characterize the two chromo methylase ( CMT 2 ) gene functions. The goal of TILLING is to introduce specific changes into the DNA of crops to improve their traits, such as resistance to pests and diseases, increased yield, and improved nutritional content ( Wang et al, 2012 ; Raihan et al, 2016a ; Acevedo-Garcia et al, 2017 ) ( Table 2 ). The process involves chemically inducing errors in the DNA and then screening for plants with the desired mutations.…”

Crop improvement programmes began with traditional breeding practices since the inception of agriculture. Farmers and plant breeders continue to use these strategies for crop improvement due to their broad application in modifying crop genetic compositions. Nonetheless, conventional breeding has significant downsides in regard to effort and time. Crop productivity seems to be hitting a plateau as a consequence of environmental issues and the scarcity of agricultural land. Therefore, continuous pursuit of advancement in crop improvement is essential. Recent technical innovations have resulted in a revolutionary shift in the pattern of breeding methods, leaning further towards molecular approaches. Among the promising approaches, marker-assisted selection, QTL mapping, omics-assisted breeding, genome-wide association studies and genome editing have lately gained prominence. Several governments have progressively relaxed their restrictions relating to genome editing. The present review highlights the evolutionary and revolutionary approaches that have been utilized for crop improvement in a bid to produce climate-resilient crops observing the consequence of climate change. Additionally, it will contribute to the comprehension of plant breeding succession so far. Investing in advanced sequencing technologies and bioinformatics will deepen our understanding of genetic variations and their functional implications, contributing to breakthroughs in crop improvement and biodiversity conservation.
