Proteomic analysis of food crops under abiotic stresses in the context of climate change

Climate change events such as elevated levels of CO 2 and tropospheric O 3 , extremes and variability of temperature and rainfall pattern negatively affect plant growth and development by promoting alterations in morphology, physiology, biochemistry and metabolism. Climate change events adversely af...

More Information
Summary:Climate change events such as elevated levels of CO 2 and tropospheric O 3 , extremes and variability of temperature and rainfall pattern negatively affect plant growth and development by promoting alterations in morphology, physiology, biochemistry and metabolism. Climate change events adversely affect crop yields, leading to food insecurity and feed scarcity for human and livestock populations, respectively. This chapter reviews the approaches and achievements of proteomics with various food crops in the context of climate change. The information provided in this review may be useful to improve crops in order to withstand various climate change‐related abiotic stresses and to address food security in advance of the expected increase in the global population.
