Abstract
A new revolution in agricultural innovation will be needed to sustain the food, fiber and fuel need of a growing global population and changing climate through the 21st century. Elevated CO2 results in increased biomass that can modify the microclimate and affect the risk of pathogen infection. Change in temperature and precipitation regimes due to climate change alter the growth rate and pathogenicity of infectious agent and the physiology and resistant of the host plant. Climate change will induced adaptation process in plant and microorganism. Trichoderma species have beneficial effect on plant growth and enhanced resistant to abiotic stresses. At present several target traits and potential gene from diverse sources including microbes for engineering stress tolerance in crop plants to meet climate change challenge have been reported.
