Main conclusion Plant Biomarkers are objective indicators of a plant’s cellular state in response to abiotic and biotic stress factors. They can be explored in crop breeding and engineering to produce stress-tolerant crop species. Abstract Global food production safely and sustainably remains a top priority to feed the ever-growing human population, expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. However, abiotic and biotic stress factors negatively impact food production systems, causing between 70 and 100% reduction in crop yield. Understanding the plant stress responses is critical for developing novel crops that can adapt better to various adverse environmental conditions. Using plant biomarkers as measurable indicators of a plant’s cellular response to external stimuli could serve as early warning signals to detect stresses before severe damage occurs. Plant biomarkers have received considerable attention in the last decade as pre-stress indicators for various economically important food crops. This review discusses some biomarkers associated with abiotic and biotic stress conditions and highlights their importance in developing stress-resilient crops. In addition, we highlighted some factors influencing the expression of biomarkers in crop plants under stress. The information presented in this review would educate plant researchers, breeders, and agronomists on the significance of plant biomarkers in stress biology research, which is essential for improving plant growth and yield toward sustainable food production.

SummaryPlants have evolved a multi‐layered immune system to fight off pathogens. However, immune activation is costly and is often associated with growth and development penalty. In crops, yield is the main breeding target and is usually affected by high disease resistance. Therefore, proper balance between growth and defence is critical for achieving efficient crop improvement. This review highlights recent advances in attempts designed to alleviate the trade‐offs between growth and disease resistance in crops mediated by resistance (R) genes, susceptibility (S) genes and pleiotropic genes. We also provide an update on strategies for optimizing the growth–defence trade‐offs to breed future crops with desirable disease resistance and high yield.

Recent research reports have shown that plant pests and pathogens have depleted the crop yield widely, which has led to an increased dependence on commercial pesticides and fungicides. Increased usage of these pesticides has also shown adverse effects on the environment, therefore many techniques have been implemented for solving the issue, some of which include using nanobioconjugates, RNA(i), which put into use double-stranded RNAs to inhibit gene expression. A more innovative and eco-friendly strategy includes spray induced gene silencing, which is being increasingly implemented. This review delves into the eco-friendly approach of spray induced gene silencing (SIGS) in combination with nanobioconjugates, which have been used concerning various plant hosts and their pathogens to provide improved protection. Furthermore, nanotechnological advancements have been understood by addressing the scientific gaps to provide a rationale for the development of updated techniques in crop protection.
