Abstract

Biotic stress is one of the prime causes that limit plant growth and development. Since fruit crops are mostly perennial, biotic stress has a significant impact on them. Modern biotechnology has the potential to establish biotic stress-resistant cultivars that improve farming production and profitability. It gives farmers more leverage by increasing their productivity and improving their nutritional security. The utilization of genes and biotechnological techniques is being used to alter agriculture through the production of resistant transgenic fruits and vegetables. Therefore, assessing the impact of these new biotic stresses and develo** novel strategies for their control is crucial, which have emerged in recent years. New research innovations are needed to devise an effective preventive and eradicative strategy for incorporating these biotic stresses, such as deciphering basic and molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions, endophytic mechanisms of plant protection, host resistance strengthening by gene cloning, recombinant DNA technologies, nanotechnology in pest management, RNA biology, and gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9. This study includes a detailed overview of develo** resistance in fruits and vegetables to new biotic stresses, as well as an overview of novel scientific breakthroughs around the world. These scientific advancements could be used to develop more effective techniques to induce biotic stress resistance in fruit and vegetable crops.
