Adaptation of Horticultural Crops to Climate Change

Global climate change is impacting agricultural production worldwide, posing significant challenges for crop sustainability. This book explores adaptation strategies for horticultural crops to mitigate these challenges. Through 10 chapters, it addresses topics such as the role of melatonin and metabolites in vegetable adaptation to cold stress, the application of mutation breeding in plant improvement, and the potential benefits of magnetic fields in reducing abiotic stress. It also examines how crops like grapes, walnuts, pistachios, and strawberries can be made more productive and resilient to global warming. Additionally, the book investigates the adaptation of fruit trees to calcareous soils and provides solutions for viticulture in hot, arid climates. This volume serves as a vital resource for researchers, agronomists, and agricultural professionals seeking practical strategies to safeguard agricultural production in the face of climate change.
