Abstract
Climatic change, a global environmental problem particularly affecting agriculture and the natural environment, is now seen to be associated with an increase in the frequency and intensity of climatic anomalies. Weather extremes in Hungary have included droughts in the 1980s, hot, dry summers in 2001–2003, and excessive rainfall in 2004 and 2005 Research on the effect of climate extremes on the biomass, yield and abiotic stress tolerance of wheat has been done in the phytotron of the Agricultural Research Institute in Martonvásár. Studies on the frost resistance, heat tolerance and drought tolerance of wheat varieties with various genetic backgrounds were made when grown under normal and increased atmospheric CO2concentrations and at various nutrient supply levels. The following conclusions were drawn from the results
