Plant genomics and climate change
Plant genomics and climate change[electronic resource] /edited by David Edwards, Jacqueline Batley. - New York, NY :Springer New York :2016. - xii, 200 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

The Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Crops -- The Impacts of Extreme Climatic Events on Wild Plant Populations -- Control of Arable Crop Pathogens; Climate Change Mitigation, Impacts and Adaptation -- Transcriptomics and Genetics Associated with Plant Responses to Elevated Co2 Atmospheric Concentrations -- Genomics of Drought -- Genomics of Temperature Stress -- Genes, meet Gases: The Role of Plant Nutrition and Genomics in Addressing Greenhouse Gas Emissions -- The Impact of Genomics Technology on Adapting Plants to Climate Change -- Genomics of Salinity.

This book explores the impact of climate change on agriculture and our future ability to produce the crops which are the foundation of the human diet. The sustainability of agriculture is being challenged by climate change and rising food demand from a larger and wealthier human population. Humanity faces a global food deficit unless the efficiency and resilience of crop production is improved. This work addresses the specific climate change issues and explore the potential for genomics assisted breeding of improved crops with greater yield and tolerance to the stresses associated with predicted climate change scenarios. Within the coming decades challenges to international food production will occur like no other time in human history, and a substantial increase in the production of food is essential if we are to continue to feed the growing human population. There is an urgent need to increase crop yield, quality and stability of production, enhancing the resilience of crops to climate variability and increasing the productivity of minor crops to diversify food production. Improvements in agricultural practice and the increased use of fertilisers and pesticides have increased food production over the last few decades, however it is now considered that further such improvements are limited. The science of genomics offers the greatest potential for crop improvement. Through the application of genomics technology it is possible to accelerate the breeding of major crops, bring current orphan crops into accelerated agricultural breeding programs and convert diverse non-crop species into future crops adapted to the changing climate. Through this process we can help secure the food supply for the coming generations.
