イリノイ大学スティーブン・ロング教授は、気候変動に対応する作物改良の緊急性を論じたレビューを発表しました。気温上昇、干ばつ、極端な降雨、大気中CO₂濃度の上昇など、2050~2060年の農業環境の大きな変化が予測される中、作物の生産性を維持・向上させるには、光合成効率の向上や耐性強化など科学的介入が不可欠と指摘。特にCO₂濃度は産業革命前の約200ppmから2050年には600ppmに達すると予測されており、継続的な研究と投資の重要性を訴えています。

作物の将来対応には緊急で一貫した取り組みが必要(Report: ‘Future-proofing’ crops will require urgent, consistent effort)

Abstract

Predicted changes in atmospheric composition and climate affecting crop productivity are reviewed. These include changes in both average conditions and extreme events, with respect to temperature, drought, flooding and surface ozone, coupled with rising atmospheric [CO2]. Impacts on, and means to adapt, crops to these changes are reviewed and outlined. Particular emphasis is given to (i) the results from open air field manipulations of surface atmosphere, temperature and soil water to understand impacts and adaptation and (ii) demonstrated genetic manipulations of photosynthesis and water use that could support future food supply under current and future conditions. Finally, attention is given to means by which crop systems could serve as CO2 collectors and carbon storage systems. Here, apparent opportunities are outlined for (i) manipulations of crops to enhance carbon storage and (ii) use of high-productivity sustainable perennial C4 grasses coupled with carbon capture and storage.
