change seriously impacts global agriculture, with rising temperatures
directly affecting the yield. Vegetables are an essential part of daily
human consumption and thus have importance among all agricultural crops.
The human population is increasing daily, so there is a need for
alternative ways which can be helpful in maximizing the harvestable
yield of vegetables. The increase in temperature directly affects the
plants’ biochemical and molecular processes; having a significant impact
on quality and yield. Breeding for climate-resilient crops with good
yields takes a long time and lots of breeding efforts. However, with the
advent of new omics technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics,
proteomics, and metabolomics, the efficiency and efficacy of unearthing
information on pathways associated with high-temperature stress
resilience has improved in many of the vegetable crops. Besides omics,
the use of genomics-assisted breeding and new breeding approaches such
as gene editing and speed breeding allow creation of
modern vegetable cultivars that are more resilient to high temperatures.
Collectively, these approaches will shorten the time to create and
release novel vegetable varieties to meet growing demands for
productivity and quality. This review discusses the effects of heat
stress on vegetables and highlights recent research with a focus on how
omics and genome editing can produce temperature-resilient vegetables
more efficiently and faster.
