Warming and drought are reducing global crop production with a potential to substantially
worsen global malnutrition. As with the green revolution in the last century, plant genetics …

Molecular evolution offers an insightful theory to interpret the genomic consequences of
thermal adaptation to previous events of climate change beyond range shifts. However …

Stomatal regulation of leaf gas exchange with the atmosphere is a key process in plant
adaptation to the environment, particularly in semi-arid regions with high atmospheric …

Heat and drought are major stresses that significantly reduce seed yield of the common
bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). In turn, this affects the profitability of the crop in climatic …

Grain legumes are an important source of nutrition and income for billions of consumers and
farmers around the world. However, the low productivity of new legume varieties, due to the …

In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in interest in the use of transgenic
plants as sources of valuable secondary metabolites or recombinant proteins. This has been …

Leveraging innovative tools to speed up prebreeding and discovery of genotypic sources of
adaptation from landraces, crop wild relatives, and orphan crops is a key prerequisite to …

Drought will reduce global crop production by> 10% in 2050 substantially worsening global
malnutrition. Breeding for resistance to drought will require accessing crop genetic diversity …

Stomata, key gatekeepers of plant hydration, have long been known to play a pivotal role in
mitigating the impacts of abiotic stressors. However, the complex molecular mechanisms …

Some of the largest impacts of climate change are expected in the environmentally
heterogeneous and species rich high mountain ecosystems. Among those, the Neotropical …
