In this review and opinion piece, some of the leading current plant biology researchers describe the challenges and opportunities for breeding new crop varieties. The approaches that can be used to increase yield through altered photosynthesis reduce pesticide use through engineered resistance, reduce fertiliser application through engineered plant-microbe interactions and increase resilience through altered stress tolerance are all described. A clear read that is thought-provoking.
