A research team from Canada is emphasizing the development of stress-tolerant potato varieties as a necessary measure to sustain global food supplies amidst increasing environmental pressures. The study highlights the threats of global warming to agriculture, such as extreme heat, drought, increased soil salinity, and higher pest and disease incidence, which affect potato crops. The team's findings underscore the need for doubling current yields of major food crops to meet future demands. They also emphasize the lack of comprehensive data on potato resistance mechanisms to environmental stresses and plan to explore molecular, biochemical, and physiological responses of potato plants to elevated CO2 levels, high temperatures, and water scarcity. The research aims to enhance the adaptability and productivity of potato crops worldwide.

They emphasize the development of stress-tolerant potato varieties as essential for sustaining global food supplies amid increasing environmental pressures. The research identifies global warming’s threats to agriculture, including extreme heat, drought, increased soil salinity, and higher pest and disease incidence, which affect potato crops significantly. Potatoes, being the fourth major food crop worldwide, face vulnerabilities to these climatic conditions. The study underscores the importance of doubling current yields of major food crops to meet the future demands of a growing global population. The Canadian team’s findings underscore the lack of comprehensive data on potato resistance mechanisms to environmental stresses. They explore the molecular, biochemical, and physiological responses of potato plants to elevated CO2 levels, high temperatures, and water scarcity. "The elucidation of these mechanisms provides valuable insights into developing new breeding strategies ...
