“…In order to cope with the negative impact of climate changes and need to increase food production, there is an urgency to develop new climate-smart crops that fit into the climate-smart agriculture approach [3][4][5]. The development of such crops can be done using genetic engineering and breeding as well by exploiting epigenetic variations [6,7]. However, this requires detailed knowledge about the molecular mechanisms that underlie the various stress responses [8][9][10][11][12].…”

High temperature stress leads to complex changes to plant functionality, which affects, i.a., the cell wall structure and the cell wall protein composition. In this study, the qualitative and quantitative changes in the cell wall proteome of Brachypodium distachyon leaves in response to high (40 °C) temperature stress were characterised. Using a proteomic analysis, 1533 non-redundant proteins were identified from which 338 cell wall proteins were distinguished. At a high temperature, we identified 46 differentially abundant proteins, and of these, 4 were over-accumulated and 42 were under-accumulated. The most significant changes were observed in the proteins acting on the cell wall polysaccharides, specifically, 2 over- and 12 under-accumulated proteins. Based on the qualitative analysis, one cell wall protein was identified that was uniquely present at 40 °C but was absent in the control and 24 proteins that were present in the control but were absent at 40 °C. Overall, the changes in the cell wall proteome at 40 °C suggest a lower protease activity, lignification and an expansion of the cell wall. These results offer a new insight into the changes in the cell wall proteome in response to high temperature.

“…It is also an important industrial crop reliably providing raw material for the starch, animal feed and ethanol industries. Predictions suggest that as result of climate change, cassava cultivation will expand in the years to come (Ceballos et al ., 2011; Mbanasor et al ., 2015; Pushpalatha and Gangadharan, 2020).…”

Consumers, traders and processors consider post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD) an important constraint. In Experiment 1, PPD was assessed three consecutive years in roots from five genotypes through seven storage days. PPD, scopoletin and dry matter content (DMC) was recorded during storage. Year, genotype, duration of storage and their interactions were significant. PPD was associated with duration of storage period, DMC and scopoletin contents. Ambient moisture and temperature during storage influenced PPD. In Experiment 2, roots from seven clones were harvested 10 months after planting from 30 consecutive biweekly plantings. PPD was assessed 0, 2 and 7 days after harvest. In 13 harvests, roots from plants pruned six days earlier were also evaluated. Results indicated large seasonal variation across genotypes. Pruning reduced PPD and DMC. Complex and contrasting relationships among the variables analysed were found. There is no uniform model explaining the relationship between PPD and the independent variables considered.

“…Climate change affects particularly smallholder farmers (Boillat et al, 2019;Descheemaeker et al, 2016;FAO, 2016;García de Jalón et al, 2018;Gbegbelegbe et al, 2018;Lalou et al, 2019;Odame Appiah et al, 2018;Oluwatayo, 2019;Williams et al, 2018). The impacts of climate change on agriculture consists in the reduction of the production and yields of staple crops such as maize (Bedeke et al, 2020;Davenport et al, 2018;Epule et al, 2017;Faye et al, 2018;Parkes et al, 2018;Srivastava et al, 2018;Tesfaye et al, 2015;Waha, Müller, & Rolinski, 2013), wheat (Trnka et al, 2019), rice (Akinbile et al, 2015;Daccache et al, 2015;Terdoo & Feola, 2016;van Oort & Zwart, 2018;Zhang et al, 2019), cassava (Jarvis et al, 2012;Pushpalatha & Gangadharan, 2020;, sorghum (Akinseye et al, 2020;Elagib et al, 2019;Faye et al, 2018;Mishra et al, 2008;Sultan et al, 2014), millet (Sultan et al, 2013). While most of the studies on the relationships between climate change and agriculture have focused on crop production, especially staple crops, a growing body of research deals with climate change impacts on livestock (Brandt et al, 2018(Brandt et al, , 2020Forabosco et al, 2017;Gerssen-Gondelach et al, 2017;Godber & Wall, 2014...…”

Climate change and agriculture in Burkina Faso

The impacts of climate change (CC) are expected to be higher in developing countries (e.g. Sub-Saharan Africa). However, these impacts will depend on agriculture development and resilience. Therefore, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted relationships between CC and agriculture in Burkina Faso (BF). A search performed in March 2020 on the Web of Science yielded 1,820 documents and 217 of them were included in the systematic review. The paper provides an overview on both bibliometrics (e.g. journals, authors, institutions) and topics addressed in the literature viz. agriculture subsectors, climate trends in BF, agriculture and CC mitigation (e.g. agriculture-related emissions, soil carbon sequestration), impacts of CC on agriculture (e.g. natural resources, crop suitability, yields, food security) as well as adaptation strategies. BF is experiencing CC as evidenced by warming and an increase in the occurrence of climate extremes. The literature focuses on crops, while animal husbandry and, especially, fisheries are often overlooked. Moreover, most of the documents deal with CC adaptation by the Burkinabe farmers, pastoralists and rural populations. Analysed adaptation options include conservation agriculture and climate-smart agriculture, irrigation, crop diversification, intensification, livelihoods diversification and migration. However, the focus is mainly on agricultural and individual responses, while livelihoods strategies such as diversification and migration are less frequently addressed. Further research is needed on the dual relation between agriculture and CC to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Research results are crucial to inform policies aimed at CC mitigation and/or adaptation in rural BF.
