Phenomics for Abiotic Stress Tolerance - Challenges Ahead.

The author reflects on the stress on the plant and food production due to non-living factors such as atmosphere and temperature in the next 50 to 100 years. He discusses the challenges faced by the crop researchers in production of more drought resistant and high yielding species of crops. He mentions the problems in developing transgenic species of crop plants such as multiple genes change in the genetic makeup of the plants.
