dc.description.abstractClimate change significantly affects agriculture, particularly fruit cultivation, by causing issues such as rising temperatures, droughts, excessive rainfall, pest infestations, and the spread of diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the impacts of climate change on fruit production and discuss key modern biotechnological solutions in plant breeding, which have been increasingly implemented both nationally and internationally, to address these challenges. Fruit species are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, water stress, and pests. Therefore, the development of climate-resilient fruit varieties is of paramount importance. Genetic engineering techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, which have revolutionized plant biotechnology, can be used to enhance heat tolerance, drought resistance, and pest resistance in fruit trees. Additionally, genetic modifications that increase photosynthetic efficiency and optimize water usage contribute to the sustainability of fruit production. Moreover, RNA interference (RNAi) technology can regulate genes related to disease resistance and water efficiency, helping to create pest-resistant plants while reducing water consumption. The widespread adoption of these modern biotechnological methods will not only enrich scientific knowledge but also contribute to the development of sustainable solutions in applied agriculture. Particularly, multidisciplinary research that delves deeper into the effects of climate change and explores the field applicability of biotechnological innovations is crucial. Such studies will help create more resilient and sustainable systems in vital sectors like fruit production, ensuring their adaptation to the challenges posed by climate change.
