Despite the optimism surrounding integrated pest and disease control based on host plant tolerance, the ongoing appearance of novel races and biotypes of major plant diseases and parasites poses a significant and growing threat to global agricultural output. Crop plants sustain severe harm from biotic stressors like diseases and pests. Managing these pressures has an influence on ecosystems and the environment in addition to raising production costs. Growers, exporters, and the health of both people and animals are concerned about the growing usage of chemical agents to combat biotic stressors. To address this, the most efficient approach is to employ resistant cultivars, as they offer cost-effectiveness, health benefits, and environmental friendliness. For enhancing global food security, the utilization of genome-editing tools requires close collaboration and dialogue among scientists, policymakers, regulators, and journalists. This concerted endeavor aims to simultaneously tackle public apprehensions about genetically modified crops. This chapter offers a comprehensive examination of the impact of biotic stress on crop plants and underscores the significance of developing crops with the ability to withstand such stresses. Additionally, it delves into diverse technologies created for crop enhancement and explores the economic significance of currently available engineered crops in the market. 2026 by John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.
