ABSTRACT Predicting the effects of climate change on plant disease is critical for protecting ecosystems and food production. Here, we show how pressure responds to short‐term weather, historical weather anomalies by compiling a global database (4339 plant–disease populations) prevalence in both agricultural wild systems. We hypothesised that would play larger role versus populations, which results supported. In systems, peaked when temperature was 2.7°C warmer than average same time year. also found evidence negative interactive effect between consistent with idea maladaptation can be an important driver outbreaks. Temperature precipitation had relatively little explanatory power though observed significant positive current temperature. These indicate plants sensitive nonlinear their interaction climate. contrast, temperatures drove risks outbreaks within range examined regardless climate, suggesting vulnerability ongoing change.

Abstract Crop landraces are genetically variable populations of agricultural plant species that through natural evolution and farmers’ selection continuous cultivation have been adapted to the environment their origin or cultivation. To be used officially traded, there more lax strict registration schemes throughout world concerning application distinctiveness, uniformity, stability (DUS) system. This review discusses legislative framework various countries worldwide evaluates its efficiency with a detailed focus on European Union (EU) experience. Especially in EU, must registered as conservation varieties Catalogue Varieties. A total 313 173 vegetable were Catalogues from 2013 2021. However, it is not clear how many these registries because obsolete also included under term varieties. Moreover, our reports importance for FAO (Food Agriculture Organization United Nations) EU strategies, namely ‘Farm Fork’ ‘Biodiversity’. Additionally, DUS criteria evaluated use when crop landrace taking into consideration genetic structure landrace.

Analyses future potential have been limited to a small number crops. Here we project geographical shifts in niches 30 major crops under 1.5-4 °C warming assess their impact on current production across croplands. We found that low-latitude regions, 10-31% would shift outside niche even 2 warming, increasing 20-48% 3 warming. Concurrently, decline 52% (+2 °C) 56% (+3 cropland. However, increase mid high latitudes, offering opportunities for climate adaptation. These results highlight substantial latitudinal differences adaptation vulnerability system

Climate change is one of the processes that have already overstepped safe planetary boundaries, together with rate biodiversity loss and human interference nitrogen phosphorus cycles. The three are related to agriculture and, as such, both food safety security, ultimately health. Adaptation climate a difficult breeding objective because its complexity, unpredictability, location specificity. However, strategy exists, which based on more dynamic use agrobiodiversity in through cultivation evolutionary populations. In this review, we show how translation into agricultural practice nearly 100 years research populations mixtures able address complexity while stabilizing yield, decreasing most agrochemicals, thus reducing emissions producing healthy food.

Agroecology calls for a global approach, integrating scientific, practical, and advocacy dimensions, to redesign agricultural systems based on ecological socio-cultural processes emphasizing biodiversity. This review is grounded the results of DIVERSIFOOD, European H2020 multi-actor research project, explores concept cultivated diversity using various dimensions relevant foster sustainable organic food agro-ecological transition. From evaluation underutilized genetic resources forgotten crops, DIVERSIFOOD has proposed plant breeding strategies, on-farm experimentation, statistical tools create new populations, landraces, cultivars with intra-varietal diversity.

Abstract Cloning quantitative trait locus (QTL) is time consuming and laborious, which hinders the understanding of natural variation genetic diversity. Here, we introduce RapMap, a method for rapid multi-QTL mapping by employing F 2 gradient populations (F GPs) constructed minor-phenotypic-difference accessions. The co-segregation standard single-locus models ensures simultaneous integration three-in-one framework in RapMap i.e. detecting real QTL, confirming its effect, obtaining near-isogenic line-like line (NIL-LL). We demonstrate feasibility cloning eight rice grain-size genes using 15 GPs three years. These explain total 75% grain shape variation. Allele frequency analysis these large germplasm collection reveals directional selection slender long grains indica domestication. In addition, major have been strongly selected during think application crops will accelerate gene discovery genomic breeding.

Organic farming is a holistic production management system that promotes and enhances agroecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles soil activity, consequently, it an efficient promising approach for sustainable agriculture within circular green economy. There has been rise in the consumption of organic vegetables last years because their organoleptic properties, higher nutritive value lower risk chemical residues harmful to health. The recent scientific evidence regarding use major elements responsible vegetable crop indicates plant material, nutrition, disinfection, pest, disease weed management. These techniques are focus this study.
