Climate resilience refers to the capacity of a system to buffer core functions against climate-related uncertainty and variability. The occurrence of diversity in responses to weather variability within a functional group or species, such as European wheat that supplies bread and pasta, can ensure a reasonable yield regardless of weather conditions and provides genetic material for selection under changing climate. Genetic diversity is not directly related to response diversity, as shown for forage crops. Since most of the forage crop species were distributed among several weather response clusters and most of the clusters contained several species, the genetic closeness did not fully explain responses to critical weather conditions. This phenomenon may represent a keystone for breeding and thus deserves to be explored further. Indeed, genetic response diversity deserves more attention with respect to yield and quality.
