This requires harnessing the power of technology and big data to identify genotypes that perform optimally in different environments and to achieve the development of precise and smart agriculture. Attention should also be given to the environmental impact of agricultural production, promoting the shift of agricultural production towards sustainability. Additionally, Breeding 5.0 will actively engage in the transformation of the global food system, promoting the development of sustainable agriculture and food production methods, reducing food waste and resource consumption, ensuring human food security, and achieving sustainable development goals. For example, addressing issues related to water resource dependence and environmental degradation in agricultural production requires fundamental reforms in the food system to achieve sustainable development goals (Souza et al., 2021). 4.3 Importance of scientific collaboration and interdisciplinary research The realization of Breeding 5.0 requires widespread collaboration in the scientific community and interdisciplinary research. Faced with complex breeding challenges and ethical issues, scientists need to collaborate, share knowledge and resources, and strengthen cooperative research efforts. Breeding 5.0 necessitates the integration of knowledge and technologies from multiple disciplines such as botany, genetics, bioinformatics, and engineering to address breeding challenges in a more comprehensive and systematic manner (Dutta et al., 2022). Additionally, collaboration with farmers, policymakers, non-governmental organizations, and societal institutions is crucial for Breeding 5.0. Only through extensive collaboration and interdisciplinary research can we better address the challenges of future breeding, achieving food security and sustainable agriculture goals. 5 Conclusion Breeding 5.0, as the frontier of future plant breeding, holds tremendous promise and potential. By introducing cutting-edge technologies and methods such as genome editing, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, and multi-omics integration, Breeding 5.0 will achieve more precise, efficient, and sustainable breeding goals. This will bring about revolutionary changes in global agriculture, enhancing food production, improving food quality, and bolstering resilience to climate change. The predicted potential of Breeding 5.0 instills confidence in the future of plant breeding, believing it will make significant contributions to addressing global agricultural challenges. Plant breeding plays a crucial role in addressing global agricultural challenges. Through breeding efforts, we can cultivate crops that are higher yielding, more nutritious, and more resistant to adversity, meeting the growing demands for food and adapting to environmental pressures. Progress in plant breeding is not only essential for agricultural development but also critical for global food security, environmental conservation, and the sustainable socio-economic development at large. As the future direction of plant breeding, Breeding 5.0 will provide solutions to global agricultural challenges through innovative technologies and methods, propelling agriculture towards sustainability, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. In summary, Breeding 5.0 envisions the future development and challenges of plant breeding. By introducing cutting-edge technologies and methods, strengthening collaborative research and interdisciplinary collaboration, we are confident in addressing future agricultural challenges and achieving the goals of global food security and sustainable agriculture. Plant breeding will continue to play a crucial role in promoting innovation and development in agriculture, bringing a more prosperous and sustainable future to human society. However, the realization of Breeding 5.0 still requires extensive research and innovation, including a deep understanding of the genome and gene functions, as well as continuous improvement in genetic improvement technologies. Additionally, we must address the ethical, legal, and societal issues arising from Breeding 4.0 and 5.0, ensuring the safety and sustainability of breeding technologies. Despite facing numerous challenges, the implementation of Breeding 5.0 represents the future development direction in breeding, offering endless possibilities for exploring a more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable agricultural production.
