Prospects for growing tuberous sunflower in changing climatic conditions: Analysis of the adaptability of tuberous sunflower to different climatic conditions and potential breeding and genetic strategies to adapt this plant to climate change

The special issue of the journal "Crop Breeding, Genetics and Genomics" is dedicated to the perspectives of growing Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) in changing climatic conditions. The articles in this issue analyze the adaptability of this plant to various climatic conditions and discuss potential breeding and genetic strategies aimed at adapting it to climate change. The themes of the articles focus on identifying phenotypic and genetic traits influencing the adaptability of Jerusalem artichoke to different climatic conditions, including tolerance to drought, temperature, and soil pollution. Subsequently, breeding strategies will be presented to improve the adaptability of Jerusalem artichoke to changing climatic conditions, including modern methods of genetic selection and genetic engineering techniques. The special issue will also include an analysis of the economic aspects of growing Jerusalem artichoke in the context of climate change, evaluating commercial and market perspectives and proposing adaptive strategies for producers.

In summary, this issue provides a comprehensive analysis of the perspectives of growing Jerusalem artichoke in the face of climate change, presenting both challenges and opportunities for breeders and researchers.
