Furthermore, the ability to develop effective adaptive strategies which allow these cultivars to express their genetic potential under changing climate conditions will be essential. .In turn, the book investigates those plant species which are very closely related to field crops and have the potential to contribute beneficial traits for crop improvement, e.g. resistance to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses, enriching the gene pool, and ultimately leading to enhanced plant yield, known as “Crop Wild Relatives” (CWRs). CWRs hold tremendous potential to sustain and enhance global food security, contributing to human well-being. Accordingly, their development, characterization and conservation in crop breeding programs have assumed great practical importance..Professor Kodoth Prabhakaran Nair is an internationally acclaimed agr | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Global warming and food security; Crop wild relatives (CRW); Crop growing season and climate change; Co | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-23037-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-23039-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-23037-1Series ISSN 2352-0698 Series E-ISSN 2352-0701 | issn_series | 2352-0698 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 |
