Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.), belonging to the family Arecaceae, has
earned the epithet ‘Kalpavriksha’ (“Tree of Life”) because of its multitude of uses.
Changing and future climate scenarios have imposed severe constraints on the production
of coconut with simulation studies revealing that productivity will be severely
affected. Nevertheless, plant genomics has offered many novel approaches to meet
the exigencies of climate change by identifying novel genetic sources for future climatic
conditions and developing suitable cultivars to tolerate increased drought, high
temperature, pests, and diseases’ complex. The perennial and open-pollinated nature
of the crop and its long gestation period has hampered the application of genomics in
coconut improvement. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have helped
in the generation of enormous genomic and transcriptomic sequence information at
a relatively low cost. Also, breeders’ toolbox has been improved with the availability
of various techniques such as molecular marker kits, association mapping, and
genomic selection. This chapter describes the impact of climate change in coconut,
progresses made in the field of coconut genomics, and various approaches being
followed to develop climate-smart coconut.
