Traditional breeding techniques, ethno-botanical expertise, local agronomy research, extension services, farmer engagement, and social and cultural studies are all still important, even if gene-focused domestication initiatives might produce vital allele variations for novel crop production. The scientific community, funding organizations, proposal reviewers, and researchers themselves must acknowledge and encourage these fields as essential to the advancement of gene editing technology in order to fully realize the benefits of de novo domestication on the environment and society. Classical genetic mapping has identified numerous genes and loci related to domestication and alterations. However, only a small percentage of these genes have been fully described. The genetic valley preserves advantageous haplotypes, resulting in less genetic variety. It is anticipated that advances in genetic mapping, crop genome sequencing, and various biological data collecting will strengthen our comprehension of crop biological processes and accelerate the conversion of lab results into practical field applications. A species' ability to adapt to external challenges is made possible by genetic variety. Since it permits modifications to the genetic makeup, animals can adjust to shifts in their surroundings. Enhancing morphological and agronomic traits is a major function of plant genetic diversity in agriculture. A greater degree of diversity improves a species' ability to adapt to changing circumstances, particularly when pests and climatic swings arise. With an emphasis on genetic variables and phenotypic plasticity, this study investigates diversity in seed dispersion attributes. It investigates certain characteristics and biological systems and suggests a simulation model to meet the demands of upcoming studies. The researchers call on biologists and ecologists to comprehend how fast changes in seed distribution affect plant population responses to climate change.
