Impacts of climate change and mitigation strategies for some abiotic and biotic constraints influencing fruit growth and quality

July 15, 2024 | Plants |

The University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, Portugal, explores the complex factors influencing fruit development and quality, particularly in the context of climate change. The research highlights the significant impact of abiotic stresses, such as extreme temperatures, light radiation, and nutritional conditions, alongside biotic constraints that can also affect fruit growth. These factors interact in complex ways, making it challenging to predict how climate change scenarios will affect fruit species' growth, development, yield, and quality.

The study underscores the potential of genetic editing technologies to enhance fruit crop traits, aligning them with consumer preferences, which is critical for commercial success. Additionally, the research emphasizes the importance of canopy management and innovative training systems in maximizing yield efficiency and improving fruit quality. The creation of pollinator-friendly habitats is also identified as a key strategy for sustainable agriculture, given the vital role of pollinators in fruit production.

The review provides an updated overview of current knowledge and suggests that by incorporating these strategies, fruit growers can better adapt to changing climate conditions, ensuring the stability of food production and increasing the profitability and competitiveness of orchards. The study also outlines recommendations for future research in these areas.
