Plant stress biology and climate‐resilient crop improvement: Integrating physiology, genomics, and breeding

Global agricultural systems are increasingly threatened by abiotic and biotic stresses, including drought, heat, salinity, flooding, pathogens, insect pests, and weeds, all of which substantially reduce crop productivity and yield stability. Climate change is expected to intensify the frequency and severity of these...
