“…Similarly important is the development of a range of different predictive techniques, so as to be able to take advantage of a diversity of analytical approaches. Equally, the greater integration of plant diversity in production systems is expected to buffer against the unpredicted or unpredictable alterations that pathosystems will experience in a changing climate (Østergård et al 2009;Brummer et al 2011;Döring et al 2011;Jarvis et al 2011).…”

Impacts of climate change on plant diseases—opinions and trends

There has been a remarkable scientific output on the topic of how climate change is likely to affect plant diseases. This overview addresses the need for review of this burgeoning literature by summarizing opinions of previous reviews and trends in recent studies on the impacts of climate change on plant health. Sudden Oak Death is used as an introductory case study: Californian forests could become even more susceptible to this emerging plant disease, if spring precipitations will be accompanied by warmer temperatures, although climate shifts may also affect the current synchronicity between host cambium activity and pathogen colonization rate. A summary of observed and predicted climate changes, as well as of direct effects of climate change on pathosystems, is provided. Prediction and management of climate change effects on plant health are complicated by indirect effects and the interactions with global change drivers. Uncertainty in models of plant disease development under climate change calls for a diversity of management strategies, from more participatory approaches to interdisciplinary science. Involvement of stakeholders and scientists from outside plant pathology shows the importance of trade-offs, for example in the land-sharing vs. sparing debate. Further research is needed on climate change and plant health in mountain, boreal, Mediterranean and tropical regions, with multiple climate change factors and scenarios (including our responses to it, e.g. the assisted migration of plants), in relation to endophytes, viruses and mycorrhiza, using long-term and large-scale datasets and considering various plant disease control methods.Keywords Adaptive ecosystem management .

“…Next to productivity, improved environmental stress tolerance is essential to all breeding programs (Brummer et al, 2011). Crop varieties with increased tolerance to abiotic stresses, like heat, frost, soil acidity, aluminum-rich soils and drought stress, can play an important role in managing current climatic variability and adapting to climate change (Cairns et al, 2013;(Brummer et al, 2011).…”

The development of climate-resilient germplasm is possible through a combination of conventional, molecular and, in some cases, transgenic breeding approaches (Cairns et al, 2013).…”

“…Among the scientific disciplines essential to addressing this challenge, plant breeding will play a unique role by developing the new crops, ornamentals, or forest trees that meet societal needs. Plant breeders will develop plants that are adapted to our changing environment and that can improve environmental quality (Brummer et al, 2011). The objective of this paper is to review the impact plant breeding in agriculture in general and in crop improvement, food security & investment specifically.…”

“…Moreover, ex situ plant collections would help to conserve threatened species (Richards et al, 2007), function as a source of traits for agricultural improvement (Brummer et al, 2011;Neale & Kremer, 2011), or has been used to propagate large numbers of plant individuals for ecosystem restoration or assisted migration (Broadhurst et al, 2008;Vitt et al, 2010;Aitken & Whitlock, 2013).…”

Mount Seblat, as part a of Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP), is a pristine and natural mountain, particularly from disturbances and destructions by human activities. Nevertheless, the richness of biological resources especially plant diversity.in this area has not been more explored. The purpose of this study was to conduct an inventory of plant diversity and to determine the plant species composition. The inventory activities were conducted by plants collection along the ascent route. The results were then be maintained through ex situ conservation method in Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG). The study was conducted by exploratory method, from Seblat Ulu Village (641 m asl) up to altitude of 1,037 m asl. There were 18 points of plant sample observation with an area of 5 x 5 square meters per point. Plant collection obtained 380 specimens. Five groups of most collected plants were Lauraceae (18 species), Rubiaceae (8 species), Anacardiaceae (6 species), Annonaceae (5 species), and Fagaceae (4 species). In order to enrich the plants collection as well as conduct the ex situ conservation effort, plants from Orchidaceae were also collected which resulted in 33 species. These results were an important initial inventory of plant diversity of Mount Seblat, considering that there was no record as well as very limited current information. When the environment disturbance tends to increase, this information may act as a reference and an initial database to develop plants conservation effort and strategy in the future.
