Abstract

Key Points:
• Abiotic stress restricts crop production and will increase with climate change, impacting negatively on future food security.
• Optimized agronomy, genetic improvement of current germplasm, and diversification of crops under cultivation will contribute to enhanced crop production under future adverse environments.
• Development of resistant and high-yielding new crops and varieties may be achieved by de novo domestication of under-utilized crops, wild relatives of crops, and ancestral germplasm
