ABSTRACT
The human population is increasing, accompanied by the issues of the mounting challenge of feeding the growing population, climate and environment changes, and the low yield of wild species. It has become necessary for humanity to alleviate these issues by developing new tools and technologies to improve crops, not only for quantitative but also for qualitative purposes. These aims are to satisfy the needs of the population, cope with the changing climate, and ensure resilience, sustainability of the agrosystems, and food security (Henry 2012).
