As a result of climate change, temperate regions are facing the simultaneous increase in water and heat stress. These changes may affect the interactions between plants and pollinators, which will have an impact on entomophilous crop yields. Here, we investigated the consequences of high temperatures and water stress on plant growth, floral biology, flower-reward production, and insect visitation of five varieties of common buckwheat (), an entomophilous crop of growing interest for sustainable agriculture.

Crosses with other wild tomato species from the clade can be used to increase genetic diversity and improve important agronomic traits such as stress tolerance.
