Protein phosphorylation serves as a fundamental regulatory mechanism to modulate cellular responses to environmental stimuli and plays a crucial role in orchestrating adaptation and metabolic homeostasis in various diverse organisms. In cyanobacteria, an ancient phylum of significant ecological and biotechnological relevance, protein phosphorylation emerges as a central regulatory axis mediating adaptive responses that are essential for survival and growth. This exhaustive review thoroughly explores the complex terrain of protein phosphorylation in cyanobacterial adaptation and metabolism, illustrating its diverse forms and functional implications. Commencing with an overview of cyanobacterial physiology and the historical trajectory of protein phosphorylation research in prokaryotes, this review navigates through the complex mechanisms of two-component sensory systems and their interplay with protein phosphorylation. Furthermore, it investigates the different feeding modes of cyanobacteria and highlights the complex interplay between photoautotrophy, environmental variables, and susceptibility to photo-inhibition. The significant elucidation of the regulatory role of protein phosphorylation in coordinating light harvesting with the acquisition of inorganic nutrients underscores its fundamental importance in the cyanobacterial physiology. This review highlights its novelty by synthesizing existing knowledge and proposing future research trajectories, thereby contributing to the deeper elucidation of cyanobacterial adaptation and metabolic regulation through protein phosphorylation.

Climate alteration poses a consistent threat to food security and agriculture production system. Agriculture sector encounters severe challenges in achieving the sustainable development goals due to direct and indirect effects inflicted by ongoing climate change. Although many industries are confronting the challenge of climate change, the impact on agricultural industry is huge. Irrational weather changes have raised imminent public concerns, as adequate output and food supplies are under a continuous threat. Food production system is negatively threatened by changing climatic patterns thereby increasing the risk of food poverty. It has led to a concerning state of affairs regarding global eating patterns, particularly in countries where agriculture plays a significant role in their economies and productivity levels. The focus of this review is on deteriorating consequences of climate alteration with the prime emphasis on agriculture sector and how the altering climatic patterns affect food security either directly or indirectly. Climate shifts and the resultant alteration in the temperature ranges have put the survival and validity of many species at risk, which has exaggerated biodiversity loss by progressively fluctuating the ecological structures. The indirect influence of climate variation results in poor quality and higher food costs as well as insufficient systems of food distribution. The concluding segment of the review underscores the emphasis on policy implementation aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change, both on a regional and global scale. The data of this study has been gathered from various research organizations, newspapers, policy papers, and other sources to aid readers in understanding the issue. The policy execution has also been analyzed which depicted that government engrossment is indispensable for the long-term progress of nation, because it will guarantee stringent accountability for the tools and regulations previously implemented to create state-of-the-art climate policy. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce or adapt to the effects of climate change because, in order to ensure global survival, addressing this worldwide peril necessitates a collective global commitment to mitigate its dire consequences.
