Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal in the world. Because of wheat's substantial role in the global food system, changes in its production volume, quality and availability could have a significant impact on global food security. The amount of global wheat production and the quality of wheat yields are strongly influenced by climate change, which has resulted in a decrease in grain acreage and availability of potable water, with a concomitant decrease in the profitability of agricultural production.

The observed increase in temperature and air humidity affects the occurrence and development in wheat crops of powdery mildew of cereals and grasses (Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici). This disease, occurs every year, in varying degrees of severity, causing yield losses of up to 20-40%. The migration of powdery mildew of cereals and grasses northward, into a cooler and wetter climate zone is also associated with climate change.

In counteracting adverse climate change on agricultural production, mathematical modeling plays an important role, becoming a key tool used to forecast stable crop production. In addition, an important direction of research involving countering the negative effects of climate change on crop production is the sustainable use of genetic resources. Expanding the genetic base in the era of a changing climate is an important aspect of today's resistance breeding.

This publication presents reports on the impact of climate change on powdery mildew of cereals and grasses, forecasting risks using mathematical models, as well as highlighting the importance of plant genetic resources in countering the negative effects of climate change.
