The demand for sustainable materials is reshaping industries worldwide, driving the search for renewable, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetics. Ligno-cellulosic fibres, derived from plants like jute and its related species, have emerged as critical resources in this transition. Their applications in textiles, biocomposites, and other green industries highlight their potential to address environmental challenges. However, this growing reliance on fibres faces hindrances such as climate change, resource scarcity, and increasing global population pressures. To sustain and enhance fibre production, innovative breeding strategies have become indispensable. Advanced approaches, such as multi-omics and genome editing, are revolutionizing the field of fibre crop improvement in the era of eco-anxiety. Harnessing diverse datasets from genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics, multi-omics provides a powerful framework for identifying genetic traits that enhance fibre quality, yield, and stress tolerance. Supporting this approach, next-generation sequencing (NGS) generates in-depth genomic data, enabling precise identification of key genes and a deeper understanding of their functions. These advancements bridge fundamental research with practical applications through translational genomics, which facilitates the development of precise tools like marker-assisted selection (MAS) and genome editing. Such technologies accelerate the creation of cultivars optimized for superior fibre traits and adaptability to changing environmental conditions. By combining multi-omics, NGS, and genome editing, fibre crop improvement is poised to meet the dual objectives of sustainability and economic viability, which not only optimizes fibre production but also strengthens the role of crops like jute as pillars of the green economy, supporting industries committed to eco-friendly innovation. Hence, this chapter explores an array of omics-integrated genomic strategies aiming to advance desired traits of jute and its associated fibre crops with a future outlook.

摘要

The demand for sustainable materials is reshaping industries worldwide, driving the search for renewable, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetics. Ligno-cellulosic fibres, derived from plants like jute and its related species, have emerged as critical resources in this transition. Their applications in textiles, biocomposites, and other green industries highlight their potential to address environmental challenges. However, this growing reliance on fibres faces hindrances such as climate change, resource scarcity, and increasing global population pressures. To sustain and enhance fibre production, innovative breeding strategies have become indispensable. Advanced approaches, such as multi-omics and genome editing, are revolutionizing the field of fibre crop improvement in the era of eco-anxiety. Harnessing diverse datasets from genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics, multi-omics provides a powerful framework for identifying genetic traits that enhance fibre quality, yield, and stress tolerance. Supporting this approach, next-generation sequencing (NGS) generates in-depth genomic data, enabling precise identification of key genes and a deeper understanding of their functions. These advancements bridge fundamental research with practical applications through translational genomics, which facilitates the development of precise tools like marker-assisted selection (MAS) and genome editing. Such technologies accelerate the creation of cultivars optimized for superior fibre traits and adaptability to changing environmental conditions. By combining multi-omics, NGS, and genome editing, fibre crop improvement is poised to meet the dual objectives of sustainability and economic viability, which not only optimizes fibre production but also strengthens the role of crops like jute as pillars of the green economy, supporting industries committed to eco-friendly innovation.
