Abstract
Drought, an ever-looming threat to agriculture, is of paramount concern in organic crop production. The traditional methodologies employed for screening and selecting drought-resistant crops are characterized by their laborious and time-intensive nature. However, the integration of molecular techniques has wrought a revolutionary transformation, expediting the identification and precise selection of crop varieties resilient to drought stress. This review explores the intricate relationship between molecular technologies and the imperative to streamline the screening and selection process for drought-resistant crops in organic agriculture. The advantages of these molecular methodologies are delved into, revealing the potential to accelerate the breeding of crops capable of withstanding the challenges posed by water scarcity. However, this exploration is full of challenges. From scalability issues to cost-effectiveness, ethical implications, and environmental impact, a comprehensive examination is crucial for a nuanced understanding of integrating these technologies into the organic crop production landscape. Moreover, this review extends beyond the present, casting a discerning eye toward the prospects of molecular techniques in pursuing sustainable agriculture. The potential for refinement, overcoming challenges, and synergies with other emerging technologies is crucially considered as a resilient and environmentally conscious agricultural future is envisioned. In essence, this exploration serves as a comprehensive guide, shedding light on the transformative power of molecular techniques in navigating the intricate path towards drought-resistant crop varieties, thereby fostering sustainable practices in the face of an increasingly unpredictable climate.
