This research topic consists of 27 high-quality papers to provide new insights into the genetic resources, high throughput precision phenotyping, breeding approaches, multiomics platforms, gene editing, disease resistance, and gene mapping. It also aims to accelerate breeding cycles for climate resilience and improve nutritional quality in these staple cereal crops. The studies reported in this Research Topic (Volume I) provide us with clear sustainable global research goals and are in place to make more climate-resilient crops in the future by closely observing crop agro-climate variability.

We are happy to announce Volume II of the same research topic; the deadline to submit the manuscript is 29 August 2022 (https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/26860/sorghum-and-pearl-millet-as-climate-resilient-crops-for-food-and-nutrition-security-volume-ii).
