| Popis | Crop production is challenged by constant and fluctuating abi-otic stresses, which are becoming more prevalent with the ongo-ing climatic changes. Abiotic stress factors include, for example,temperature extremes (cold or heat) and variations in wateravailability (drought or flooding) and/or quality (extreme salin-ity, or the existence of heavy metals). Such stresses have a pro-found impact on plant reproduction, a key step in the productionof fruits and seeds, vital for food and feed in a world with a grow-ing population (RECROP COST 2025). As a way to mitigate thesechallenges, plant researchers have been investigating how plantsrespond to and adapt to abiotic stresses. RECROP (ReproductiveEnhancement in Crop Resilience to Extreme Climate, https://www.recrop-cost.com), an EU-supported COST Action, bringstogether experts from various plant science disciplines, such asphysiology, agronomy, genetics, bioinformatics, molecular biol-ogy, mathematics, and ecology. One of RECROP's main goals isto establish a common language among researchers across thediverse research areas of crop science, particularly with regardto the methodologies used for applying stress and evaluatingstress responses and resilience. We hope that this will facilitatebetter communication and a higher level of comparability be-tween experimental systems, in pursuing future solutions forthe challenge of food security. |
