摘要: Maize is a vital staple crop significantly affected by climate change, necessitating urgent efforts to enhance its resilience. This review analyzes advanced methodologies for maize improvement, focusing on the identification of genetic determinants through QTL mapping, candidate gene mining, and GWAS. We highlight the transformative potential of CRISPR gene editing for identifying key regulators in maize development and the utility of virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) for functional genomics. Additionally, we discuss breeding strategies leveraging the genetic diversity of maize wild relatives and innovations such as speed breeding and genomic selection (GS), which accelerate breeding cycles. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) plays a critical role in developing superior maize varieties. The review also encompasses agronomic practices and technological innovations, including GS, aimed at climate mitigation. High-throughput phenotyping and omics-based approaches, including transcriptomics and metabolomics, are essential tools for developing climate-resilient maize. Climate changes have a significant impact on maize production and pose unprecedented challenges to its cultivation.
