Pre-breeding, often termed genetic enhancement, is a vital strategy to connect vast genetic resources with the practical demands of plant breeding programs. It involves identifying, characterizing and transferring desirable traits from unadapted sources such as landraces, wild relatives and exotic germplasm into intermediate materials that breeders can readily use. Pre-breeding offers unique opportunity to exploit untapped genetic diversity rolling in nature. It serving as a collaborative bridge between gene bank curators and breeders. The transformative potential of pre-breeding in strengthening crop resilience observed in major crops such as rice, wheat, maize and in legumes such as mungbean and soybean. Despite its promise, pre-breeding faces several challenges, but it reconnects breeding programs with untapped variability, ensuring novel alleles and safeguarding future food production.
