Agriculture in the 21st century will have to tackle global problems that will determine the quality of life of the generations to come. Problems such as the impact of climate change on agricultural production, the shortage of water resources, controlling new plant diseases and pathogens, producing safe, nutritive foods, reducing the changes in ecosystems caused by intensive agriculture, and the efficient production of biofuels.* Dealing with these problems will require sustained efforts in research into the fundamental biology and ecology of plants, and the transfer of this knowledge into innovation and development of new technologies in the field of agriculture. The development of research on plant genomics has helped to facilitate this process.
