Neutralising Climate Change Through Fruit Crops
Abstract: The fruit crops with an extended life cycle face several difficulties associated with stress. Intriguingly, the fruit crops with a short life cycle show a wider capability of adaptation without confronting many stresses of climate change. All the fruit crops possess temperature optima to cruise through proper growth and development. Fruit crops representing temperate, tropical and sub-tropical regions are affected by climate change to varying proportions, especially the temperate fruit …
