Augmenting plant-pollinator interactions to promote biodiversity and global food security

Global agricultural production is currently limited by ongoing climate change. Approximately 90% of crop species and numerous wild plants are dependent on pollinators for reproduction. The global threat to pollinators posed by climate change has grown considerably, as higher temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events disrupt the fragile relationships between plants and their pollinators. The decline in pollinators is also linked to shifts in land use, the widespread adoption of monocropping, and heavy reliance on agrochemicals. Therefore, the protection of pollinators and the preservation of agrobiodiversity are essential to uphold global food systems. Here, we synthesize the adverse impact of climate change on plant-pollinator interactions; throughput assay for phenotyping floral traits; assessing variability and molecular basis …
