Sumario:Climate change poses significant risks to future crop productivity as temperatures rise, rainfall patterns become more variable, and pest and disease pressures increase. The use of crop genetic resources to develop varieties more tolerant to rapidly changing environmental conditions will be an important part of agricultural adaptation to climate change. Finding new genetic traits that can facilitate adaptation-and incorporating them into commercially successful varieties-is time-consuming, expensive, and technically difficult. This book reviews the types of genetic resources, the ways they hav.
