چکیده
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported that the global mean temperature had risen for the 20th century at the rate of 0.74oC per 100 years due to increasing green house gas. Climate change such as temperature, precipitation and tropical cyclone activity has been strongly related to agricultural production, water resource, and species diversity. Recent climate change has already affected all agricultural crops and animal production in Japan. Horticultural crops, vegetables and fruits, having high priority of quality, had serious effects in Japan, due mainly to high temperature. We have been researching the impact of climate change on horticultural crops and developing several technological countermeasures and new varieties and cultivars which have tolerance against high temperature.
