We have to face the threats such as global climate change and an increased demand for food from a growing population.</p> <p>Journal of Agriculture, Food and Environment (JAFE) will complement our sister organization (Society of Agriculture, Food and Environment-SAFE), by providing an open platform dedicated to the applications of fundamental and applied sciences in agriculture, food and environment territories to find solutions for feeding our planet’s growing population and keeping the environment safe. The new journal brings together experts from academic, industry and policy spheres.</p> <p><strong>eISSN:</strong> 2708-5694</p> <p><strong>Abbreviated Title:</strong> J. Agric.

CMS is linked to incorporation of specific fertility restoring genes, which are donated by the restorer line. In recent years, efforts to understand the factors inducing sterility and the associated fertility determinants (Rf) in plants. The creation of hybrids utilizing a CMS line has been successfully adopted across various plants. In addition, CMS can be engineered by currently developed CRISPR-Cas gene editing, which allows for the knockout of specific genes responsible for male gamete development. An environment-insensitive genic male system known as 3rd-generation hybrid rice technology (TGHRT) is effectively addressing the inherent challenges of two-line as well as three-line systems. Hence, the inception of TGHRT, a multitude of discoveries and innovations have emerged. This review tries to provide insights into the mechanisms underlying the development of CMS, along with their potential and future prospects in the industrialization of plant breeding.</p>2025-08-20T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Society of Agriculture, Food and Environment (SAFE)
