Climate change may outpace current wheat breeding yield | ResearchBunny

Abstract

This study evaluates the genetic advancement of wheat under current and future climates in North America (1960–2018). Results show that while advanced winter wheat breeding lines exhibited superior climate resilience compared to check varieties, advanced spring wheat lines showed increased sensitivity to warming. Under future climate scenarios, yields of both winter and spring wheat are projected to decline, suggesting that current breeding progress may not keep pace with climate change.
