摘要

The current alarming trends in global climate development are increasingly threatening agriculture. Extreme weather events, such as prolonged drought and heat waves, put crops under greater stress and alter the occurrence and severity of plant diseases. This article reflects on exemplary Fusarium–drought interaction experiments in barley, providing insights on how researchers can support breeding for disease resistance under future, more unfavourable environmental conditions.
