Due to energy consumption and human activities, a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions has led to global warming, which severely affects plant growth and development. Vegetables are highly sensitive to climate change, and even a slight increase in temperature above their optimal threshold can result in yield and quality loss. Strategies such as practice management and breeding improvement are essential for enhancing abiotic stress resistance in vegetable crops.
As a result of energy consumption and human activities, a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions has led to global warming, which seriously affects the growth and development of plants. Vegetables are an indispensable part of people's diet. In the plant kingdom, a variety of vegetables are highly sensitive to climate change. For them, an increase of just a few degrees above their optimum temperature threshold can result in a loss of yield and quality. Emerging strategies such as practice management and breeding varieties in response to above-optimal temperatures are critical for abiotic stress resistance of vegetable crops. In this study, the function and application of multiple strategies, including breeding improvement, epigenetic modification directed generation of alleles, gene editing techniques, and accumulation of mutations in multigenerational adaptation to abiotic stress, were discussed in vegetable crops. It is believed to be meaningful for plants to build plasticity under high temperature stress, thus generating more genetic structures for heat resistant traits in vegetable products.
