Application of genomics-assisted breeding for generation of climate resilient crops: progress and prospects
Climate change affects agricultural productivity worldwide. Increased prices of food commodities are the initial indication of drastic edible yield loss, which is expected to increase further due to global warming. This ...
Mobilizing Crop Biodiversity
Over the past 70 years, the world has witnessed extraordinary growth in crop productivity, enabled by a suite of technological advances, including higher yielding crop varieties, improved farm management, synthetic ...
Global agricultural intensification during climate change: a role for genomics
Agriculture is now facing the ‘perfect storm’ of climate change, increasing costs of fertilizer
and rising food demands from a larger and wealthier human population. These factors point
to a global food deficit unless the ...
State of ex situ conservation of landrace groups of 25 major crops
Crop landraces have unique local agroecological and societal functions and offer important genetic resources for plant breeding. Recognition of the value of landrace diversity and concern about its erosion on farms have ...
