Summary:
The potential for developing new crop varieties by means of higher stress
tolerance is promising, given recent advances in molecular biology and
genomics, with implications of both conventional and transgenic breeding. A
better scientific consideration is required of the yield restrictive practices to
target future genetic and agronomic improvements and to evade the
unnecessary use of inputs during those parts of the crop lifecycle that is not
critical for crop growth and yield formation and are more affected by changing
climate threats and can vary with countries and agro-climatic regions.
Though, the long-term success in breeding crops adapted to climate change
may be controlled by a potential loss of genetic diversity caused by
temperature rise and shifts in precipitation that lead to range reduction or
extinction of crop wild relatives. Farmers will need a diverse selection of
improved crop varieties that are better adapted locally to ecologically based
production practices and suited to resilient to climate change. The
introduction of adapted and recognized crop varieties can potentially
empower cropping systems by aggregate crop yields with building crop
resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses in a sustainable way likewise by
means of taking new market opportunities besides increasing crop
productivity, quality, health and nutritional value which will help to make sure
continuous improved agricultural production even at uncertainties about
future climate change impacts and help to create eco-friendly sustainable
environment.Number Of Quantity:
