Climate change is multi-faceted, and includes changing concentrations of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere, rising temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and …

The timing of flowering is determined by endogenous genetic components as well as
various environmental factors, such as day length, temperature, and stress. The genetic …

Evolutionary success in plants is largely dependent on the successful transition from
vegetative to reproductive growth. In the lifetime of a plant, flowering is not only an essential …

Breeding new and high performing cultivars with market‐preferred traits take more than 10
years in the absence of an integrated pre‐breeding programme. During the early phases of …

Generalised dose–response curves are essential to understand how plants acclimate to
atmospheric CO2. We carried out a meta‐analysis of 630 experiments in which C3 plants …

Abiotic stress conditions such as drought, heat, or salinity cause extensive losses to
agricultural production worldwide. Progress in generating transgenic crops with enhanced …

Anthropogenic climate change has already altered the timing of major life-history transitions,
such as the initiation of reproduction. Both phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution can …

Whilst it is agreed that climate change will impact on the long-term interactions between
crops and weeds, the results of this impact are far from clear. We suggest that a thorough …

Elevated CO2 and temperature are altering the interactions between plants and insects with
important implications for food security and natural ecosystems. Ecologically, the …

Crop production is inherently sensitive to variability in climate. Temperature is a major
determinant of the rate of plant development and, under climate change, warmer …
