Abstract
Global climate change and population growth are two major challenges of the twenty-first century. Crop losses due to variable weather patterns associated with climate change have risen over the past decades, and climate models predict an increased incidence particularly of droughts, floods, and extreme temperatures. This situation together with the growing food demand is anticipated to pose a real threat to global food security.
