Abstract

Crop diversity is an essential resource for global breeding programmes aimed at climate resilience. However, adaptation depends both on whether genetic diversity exists and if it is accessible. Here we consider the biological and social risks of crop adaptation at global and national levels using 1,937 publicly available genotyped and georeferenced accessions of sorghum, a staple crop for subsistence farmers. Accessions were given a future climate resilience score and a genomic adaptive capacity score using genomic estimated adaptive values generated from environmental genomic selection. We identified the best potential parents and the geographies that harbour the most promising genotypes for crop improvements, as well as more at-risk areas. Such methods may be expanded to other crops and used for decision support for future breeding. Adapting agriculture to future climate conditions will necessitate increased accessibility to plant genetic resources and their genetic characterization.

优先考虑全球基因库中的亲本，培育适应气候变化的作物

作物多样性是旨在提高气候适应能力的全球育种计划的重要资源。然而，适应取决于遗传多样性是否存在以及是否可获得。在这里，我们利用1937份公开的高粱（自给农民的主要作物）基因型和地理参考资料，在全球和国家层面考虑作物适应的生物和社会风险。根据环境基因组选择产生的基因组估计适应值，为入选植物提供了未来气候适应能力评分和基因组适应能力评分。我们确定了最好的潜在亲本、拥有最有希望用于作物改良的基因型的地区，以及风险更高的地区。这种方法可以扩展到其他作物，并用于未来育种的决策支持。使农业适应未来气候条件将需要增加对植物遗传资源及其遗传特性的获取。

期刊介绍： Nature Climate Change is dedicated to addressing the scientific challenge of understanding Earth's changing climate and its societal implications. As a monthly journal, it publishes significant and cutting-edge research on the nature, causes, and impacts of global climate change, as well as its implications for the economy, policy, and the world at large. The journal publishes original research spanning the natural and social sciences, synthesizing interdisciplinary research to provide a comprehensive understanding of climate change. It upholds the high standards set by all Nature-branded journals, ensuring top-tier original research through a fair and rigorous review process, broad readership access, high standards of copy editing and production, rapid publication, and independence from academic societies and other vested interests. Nature Climate Change serves as a platform for discussion among experts, publishing opinion, analysis, and review articles. It also features Research Highlights to highlight important developments in the field and original reporting from renowned science journalists in the form of feature articles. Topics covered in the journal include adaptation, atmospheric science, ecology, economics, energy, impacts and vulnerability, mitigation, oceanography, policy, sociology, and sustainability, among others.
