Опубликована: Март 12, 2022

Summary Human activity is causing a global change in plant environment that includes significant increase the number and intensity of different stress factors. These include combinations multiple abiotic biotic stressors simultaneously or sequentially impact plants microbiomes, decrease growth, yield overall health. It was recently found with increasing complexity impacting plant, growth survival decline dramatically, even if level each individual stress, involved such ‘multifactorial combination’, low enough not to have effect. Here we highlight this new concept multifactorial combination discuss its importance for our efforts develop climate change‐resilient crops.

Опубликована: Окт. 12, 2022

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade critical time for action to mitigate worst effects on human populations ecosystems. Plant science can play an important role in developing crops with enhanced resilience harsh conditions (e.g. heat, drought, salt stress, flooding, disease outbreaks) engineering efficient carbon-capturing carbon-sequestering plants. Here, we present examples research being conducted these areas discuss challenges open questions as call plant community.

Climate change is one of the most significant challenges worldwide. There strong evidence from research that climate will impact several food chain-related elements such as agricultural output, incomes, prices, access, quality, and safety. This scoping review seeks to outline state knowledge supply chain's vulnerability identify existing literature may guide future research, policy, decision-making aimed at enhancing resilience chain. A total 1526 publications were identified using SCOPUS database, which 67 selected for present study. The assessment methods well adaptation measures have been employed alleviate in chain discussed. results revealed a growing number providing weakening due extreme weather events. Our demonstrated need broaden into entire various forms climatic variability because studies concentrated on relationships between fluctuations (especially rainfall, temperatures, drought) production. lack about effects underlying socio-economic consequences could result underperformance or failure

Climate Change—The Rise of Climate-Resilient Crops

Plants, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(4), С. 490 - 490

Опубликована: Фев. 8, 2024

Climate change disrupts food production in many regions of the world. The accompanying extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, heat waves, and cold snaps, pose threats to crops. concentration carbon dioxide also increases atmosphere. United Nations is implementing climate-smart agriculture initiative ensure security. An element this project involves breeding climate-resilient crops or plant cultivars with enhanced resistance unfavorable environmental conditions. Modern agriculture, which currently homogeneous, needs diversify species cultivated plants. Plant programs should extensively incorporate new molecular technologies, supported by development field phenotyping techniques. Breeders closely cooperate scientists from various fields science.

Climate change-associated multifactorial stress combination: A present challenge for our ecosystems

Journal of Plant Physiology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 276, С. 153764 - 153764

Humans negatively influence Earth ecosystems and biodiversity causing global warming, climate change as well man-made pollution. Recently, the number of different stress factors have increased, when impacting simultaneously, multiple conditions cause dramatic declines in plant ecosystem health. Although much is known about how plants are affected by each individual stress, recent research efforts diverted into these biological systems respond to several applied together. Studies such "multifactorial combination" concept reported a severe decrease survival microbiome along increasing consistent directional trend. In addition, results concert with studies microbiota natural imposed change. Therefore, all this evidence should serve an important warning order pollutants, create strategies deal increase tolerance stressful combination. Here we review focused on impact abiotic stresses plants, agrosystems including forests microecosystems. mitigate discussed.

Recent Advancements and Development in Nano-Enabled Agriculture for Improving Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13

Опубликована: Июль 11, 2022

Abiotic stresses, such as heavy metals (HMs), drought, salinity and water logging, are the foremost limiting factors that adversely affect plant growth crop productivity worldwide. The plants respond to stresses by activating a series of intricate mechanisms subsequently alter morpho-physiological biochemical processes. Over past few decades, abiotic in have been managed through marker-assisted breeding, conventional genetic engineering approaches. With technological advancement, efficient strategies required cope with harmful effects environmental constraints develop sustainable agriculture systems production. Recently, nanotechnology has emerged an attractive area study potential applications agricultural science, including mitigating impacts climate change, increasing nutrient utilization efficiency stress management. Nanoparticles (NPs), nanofertilizers, gained significant attention due their high surface volume ratio, eco-friendly nature, low cost, unique physicochemical properties, improved productivity. Several studies revealed role NPs This review aims emphasize managing promotion cost-effective environment friendly strategy for future sustainability.

The next era of crop domestication starts now

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 120(14)

Опубликована: Март 27, 2023

Current food systems are challenged by relying on a few input-intensive, staple crops. The prioritization of yield and the loss diversity during recent history domestication has created contemporary crops cropping that ecologically unsustainable, vulnerable to climate change, nutrient poor, socially inequitable. For decades, scientists have proposed as solution address these challenges global security. Here, we outline possibilities for new era crop domestication, focused broadening palette diversity, engages benefits three elements domestication: crops, ecosystems, humans. We explore how suite tools technologies at hand can be applied renew in existing improve underutilized domesticate bolster genetic, agroecosystem, system diversity. Implementing requires researchers, funders, policymakers boldly invest basic translational research. Humans need more diverse Anthropocene-the process help build them.

Integrating genomics and genome editing for orphan crop improvement: a bridge between orphan crops and modern agriculture system

GM crops & food, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14(1), С. 1 - 20

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2023

Domestication of orphan crops could be explored by editing their genomes. Genome has a lot promise for enhancing agricultural output, and there is interest in furthering breeding crops, which are sometimes plagued with unwanted traits that resemble wild cousins. Consequently, applying model crop knowledge to allows the rapid generation targeted allelic diversity innovative germplasm. We explain how plant breeders employ genome as novel platform accelerate domestication semi-domesticated or plants, resulting more diversified base future food fodder supplies. This review emphasizes both practicality strategy need invest research advances our understanding genomes, genes, cellular systems.

An increase of abiotic stress tolerance and nutritive value foods is currently a priority because climate change rising world population. Among stresses, salt one the main problems in agriculture. Mounting urbanization industrialization, increasing global food demand, are pressing farmers to make use marginal lands affected by salinity low-quality saline water. In that situation, most promising approaches searching for new sources genetic variation like salt-tolerant alternative crops or underexploited crops. They generally less efficient than cultivated optimal conditions due lower yield but represent an stressful growth conditions. this review, we summarize advances achieved research on species differing their nature. First, highlight traditional varieties tomato landraces; selected developed smallholder adaptation local environments showing specific attractive fruit quality traits. We remark attained screening collection gathered Spanish Southeast, very productive region which environment extremely stressing. Second, explore opportunities exploiting natural halophytes, particular quinoa amaranth. The both becoming increasingly important issue, especially cultivation arid semiarid areas prone be salinity.
