    Impact of climate change on biology and management of wheat pests
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Bajwa, Ali A.; Farooq, Muhammad; Al-Sadi, Abdullah M.; Nawaz, Ahmad; Jabran, Khawar; Siddique, Kadambot H. M.
    Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production is vital to global food security. Climate change is threatening sustainable wheat production not only with direct negative effects on crop growth but also with a profound impact on pest biology and management. This review presents a critical analysis of the impact of key climate change elements, including drought, high temperature and increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels on biology, ecology and behaviour of wheat pests. Climate change is expected to favour the growth, virulence, multiplication, persistence and range expansion of most serious wheat pests. Rapid climatic changes are opening new geographic windows for disease outbreaks, insect attacks and weed infestations in wheat crops across the globe. Wheat-pest interactions are also favourable for pests in most cases where one or more climate change elements come into play. Existing pest management options are not successful under these circumstances. Climate change has a direct negative effect on the efficacy of existing control options, which increases pest virulence and their competitive ability, pest resistance to pesticides and pest-environment interactions, leading to inadequate pest control and substantial crop yield losses. Integrated pest management approaches, based on innovative and traditional pest control strategies, may be more appropriate in the changing climate. Proactive measures, including early detection and eradication by frequent pest-scouting, preventive control, and forecasting of potential outbreaks or new introductions by predictive modelling, could help in this regard. A better understanding of the changing pest biology, interactions and management strategies presented here is inevitable for successful pest management and sustainable wheat production under the changing climate.

    Nano-enabled stress-smart agriculture: Can nanotechnology deliver drought and salinity-smart crops?
    (Wiley, 2023) Raza, Ali; Charagh, Sidra; Salehi, Hajar; Abbas, Saghir; Saeed, Faisal; Poinern, Gerrard E. J.; Siddique, Kadambot H. M.
    Salinity and drought stress substantially decrease crop yield and superiority, directly threatening the food supply needed to meet the rising food needs of the growing total population. Nanotechnology is a step towards improving agricultural output and stress tolerance by improving the efficacy of inputs in agriculture via targeted delivery, controlled release, and enhanced solubility and adhesion while also reducing significant damage. The direct application of nanoparticles (NPs)/nanomaterials can boost the performance and effectiveness of physio-biochemical and molecular mechanisms in plants under stress conditions, leading to advanced stress tolerance. Therefore, we presented the effects and plant responses to stress conditions, and also explored the potential of nanomaterials for improving agricultural systems, and discussed the advantages of applying NPs at various developmental stages to alleviate the negative effects of salinity and drought stress. Moreover, we feature the recent innovations in state-of-the-art nanobiotechnology, specifically NP-mediated genome editing via CRISPR/Cas system, to develop stress-smart crops. However, further investigations are needed to unravel the role of nanobiotechnology in addressing climate change challenges in modern agricultural systems. We propose that combining nanobiotechnology, genome editing and speed breeding techniques could enable the designing of climate-smart cultivars (particularly bred or genetically modified plant varieties) to meet the food security needs of the rising world population. Salinity and drought stress substantially decrease crop yield and superiority, threatening the world's food security. Nanotechnology holds great potential for designing stress-smart, sustainable crops to feed the growing population. image
