Advancing Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Integrative Biotechnological Approaches for Sustainable Crop Production
Abstract: Climate change presents a major challenge to global agriculture by increasing the occurrence and severity of both non-living and living stress factors, such as drought, high temperatures, salt buildup, waterlogging, and new pests and diseases. These stressors interfere with the normal functioning of plants at the physical, chemical, and genetic levels, which in turn results in lower crop yields and poorer quality. While traditional methods of plant breeding played a …
