Innovations in plant genetics adapting agriculture to climate change

Abstract

Creating new plant genotypes is one of the main ways that agriculture can adjust to the changing climate. It may be necessary for plants to offer resilience in climate change or to provide support in agriculture's expansion into new areas. It might be necessary for very distinct genotypes to function in the altered conditions of protected agriculture. Notwithstanding the increasing obstacles posed by climate change in the future, consumers will still seek food that is convenient, tastes good, is safe, and is produced sustainably and ethically. It will be difficult to increase food's nutritional content in reaction to climate change. This innovation will be supported by genomic sequences of pertinent germplasm and knowledge of the functional role of alleles governing important features.
