This issue of Functional Plant Biology reports on plant biology research making contributions towards solving one of the most burning issues faced by humankind: Provision of food security for an ever growing human population in the face of climate change. The papers evolved from presentations given at two symposia at the International Botanical Congress in Melbourne (Australia), in July 2011, and one symposium at the ComBio meeting in Cairns (Australia), September 2011. The papers highlight current research on elevated CO2 and climate change factors such as increased temperature and drought from a number of leading research groups and facilities worldwide. The presented research covers experimental and modelling work on major grain and root crops as well as trees.
