Abstract
Changes in global climate, particularly reduced rain fall and elevated temperatures within the U.S.A., impact adversely on crop production. Because conditions of severe drought accompanied by elevated temperatures often result in production of low quality seed, research efforts to determine the effects of drought on seed filling are needed. Very little is known about the effects of drought stress on cellular and molecular regulation of organelle biogenesis related to storage of food reserves in ripening seeds. With this knowledge improvements in crop production can be tested either by employment of specific strategies involving use of limited water supplies during critical periods of seed development or by implementation of biotechnological methods to introduce drought and high temperature resistance into the genome of designated crop plants.
