Breeding crops for climate resilience

Increased climate variability means that breeders and agronomists need to broaden the adaptability of crop varieties grown and increase the yield stability to help minimize climate-induced risks and build resilience. This topical collection presents a number of examples where new technologies - including the power of computing, data analysis, phenotyping, and genome analysis - are being deployed to increase the climate resilience of major cereal crops, oilseeds and some orphan crops.
