Abstract
In-addition to classical breeding, high throughput techniques for DNA and RNA quantification are
also the demand of time in order to boost up agriculture in places like Pakistan. In the modern world,
usage of high throughout techniques is very common to flourish agriculture sector. As in China,
during the past five decades rice production has been increased three times more; credit goes to the
increased grain yield but not to the planted area. In fact, the agriculture sector cannot be drive
properly in any state unless the solutions are found for elementary issues of management. Here, in this
review article, we have not tried to co-relate the performance of agriculture sector between two
countries only but explained briefly the basic hurdles of management that are destroying the crop
yield and their management in the agriculture sector of Pakistan as compared to China. On the other
hand, with respect to current advances in the plant science, as the sequences of many plant genomes
have been released and a huge array of molecular markers exists for crops. Meanwhile, the power of
genomics for practical breeding is one of the best tools of recent years. We suggest that a sustainable
increase in crop production is attainable in Pakistan through the adaptation of these modern
techniques including; genome-wide association (GWA) studies and emerging RNA sequencing
(RNA-Seq) for the basic research.
