“…Predictions for new climate scenarios, which include an increase in temperature, alterations in rainfall patterns, and increasing frequency of extreme climate events, are likely to negatively affect global agriculture, especially in Mediterranean regions (IPCC, 2014;FAO, 2016;IPCC, 2018). This concern is especially relevant for peach trees because warming temperatures will impact negatively flowering and production (Gogorcena et al, 2020). In this situation, it is still more critical to choose the correct rootstock-scion combination to cope with the effects of climate change.…”

Environmental stress factors caused by climate change affect plant growth and crop production, and pose a growing threat to sustainable agriculture, especially for tree crops. In this context, we sought to investigate the responses to climate change of two Prunus rootstocks (GF677 and Adesoto) budded with Catherina peach cultivar. Plants were grown in 15 L pots in temperature gradient greenhouses for an 18 days acclimation period after which six treatments were applied: [CO 2 levels (400 versus 700 µmol mol-1), temperature (ambient versus ambient + 4°C), and water availability (well irrigated versus drought)]. After 23 days, the effects of stress were evaluated as changes in physiological and biochemical traits, including expression of relevant genes. Stem water potential decreased under drought stress in plants grafted on GF677 and Adesoto rootstocks; however, elevated CO 2 and temperature affected plant water content differently in both combinations. The photosynthetic rate of plants grafted on GF677 increased under high CO 2 , but decreased under high temperature and drought conditions. The photosynthetic rates of plants grafted onto Adesoto were only affected by drought treatment. Furthermore, in GF677-Catherina plants, elevated CO 2 alleviated the effect of drought, whereas in those grafted onto Adesoto, the same condition produced acclimation in the rate. Stomatal conductance decreased under high CO 2 and drought stress in both grafted rootstocks, and the combination of these conditions improved water-use efficiency. Changes in the sugar content in scion leaves and roots were significantly different under the stress conditions in both combinations. Meanwhile, the expression of most of the assessed genes was significantly affected by treatment. Regarding genotypes, GF677 rootstock showed more changes at the molecular and transcriptomic level than did Adesoto rootstock. A coordinated shift was found between the physiological status and the transcriptomic responses. This study revealed adaptive responses to climate change at the physiological, metabolic, and transcriptomic levels in two Prunus rootstocks

“…(e) functional characterization of an increasing number of genes involved in developmental control, fruit metabolism, disease resistance, and adaptation to the environment. On the other hand, challenges in breeding new varieties of berry fruits that adapt to climate change are as follows: (a) The perennial nature of the garden plant and its vast size, necessitating extensive and labor-intensive field experiments; (b) low transformation and regeneration efficiency, as well as the limited size of breeding populations; (c) the complexities of transferable traits and the need to more clearly define future ideotypes; (d) a lack of shared and integrative platforms that allow full assessment of genotype-phenotype-environmental linkages; and (e) legal, market, and consumer acceptance of new genotypes [99].…”

Global climate change and possible drought scenarios have forced researchers, breeders and producers to create new plant patterns that will adapt to changing climate and soil conditions for production of horticultural plants in the future. Here, the most important topic is the shortening of the physiological growth period of plants due to abiotic stress. In other words, reductions experienced in both cooling needs and maturation periods cause negative impacts on flowering times and amounts, and this causes significant loss of yield. In recent years, the production of berry fruits that will adapt to drought conditions has attracted the attention of breeders and producers. The aim of this study is to discuss in detail the possibilities of producing berry fruits that are resistant to drought and negative climate conditions and to present research results and recommendations about this topic. In this study, the production opportunities in arid and negative climate conditions for the berry fruits of strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.), mulberry (Morus spp.), fig (Ficus carica L.), blackberry (Rubus fruticosus L.), chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa L.), rosehip (Rosa canina L.), raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) and blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) were researched and recommendations are made about production methods for some varieties and types resistant to drought in berry fruit cultivation.
