Resilience of Crop Yield Under Marginal Environments and Climate Change
Climate change is currently the grandest challenge to the sustainability of global food production due to its adverse effects on plant growth, development, and reproduction. To address this challenge to agriculture, breeding and biotechnology will have to develop the new generation of climate-resilient crop varieties with robust yield potential under marginal environments affected by stresses such as drought, heat, flooding, cold, and other factors. Advances in crop design technology such as genomics, novel genetics, gene editing, new breeding technologies (NBT), and crop management strategies including soil and microbiome health, plant water relations, and nutrient cycle are important components of a holistic solution to develop high-yielding and climate resilient genotypes for the 21st century. Therefore, advanced approaches are key to maximizing the interaction between genetics and the environment to fine tune cellular responses that determine adaptive phenotypes. This can be achieved through biochemical and molecular mechanisms that minimize trade-offs to the source-sink dynamics.
We invite contributions to this Special Issue which includes original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on the following topics.
1. Genetics, physiology, and biochemistry of crop yield maintenance under marginal environments
2. Physiological, morphological, and developmental traits contributing to enhanced source-sink strength in crop plants under marginal environments
3. Mechanisms governing genotype-by-environment interactions and their applications to climate-resilience crop breeding
4. Importance of soil and microbiome health to crop yield potential under marginal environments
5. New breeding technologies (NBT) and other multi-omics approaches for crop yield enhancement under marginal environments
6. Crop phenomics and modeling for climate resilience

Current Plant Biology的CAR指数
2023年3月份科睿唯安官方一次性踢除35本SCI期刊，多数涉及学术诚信问题，让我们意识到学术期刊的“被踢”指数，也很重要。目前，对于期刊的“被踢”指数，这里介绍一下：CAR指数（关于CAR的详细介绍，请关注：www.jcarindex.com），这是一种评价期刊学术诚信风险的指数，指数越高代表可能的风险越大。从数据看，Current Plant Biology不管是2022年度，还是2023年度的CAR指数，都是比较低的。当然，CAR指数仅供参考，期刊风险情况，需以科睿唯安或中科院预警等官方为准！
