Cover Story: Broccoli is a cool-weather crop whose edible part formation processes are strongly temperature-dependent. Consequently, it faces many challenges today, such as profitable production under conditions of increased temperature, induced by the emerging climate change. In order to highlight the impacts of emerging climate change, understanding the temperature requirements of broccoli production is decisive. Thus, the purpose of this review is to comprehensively present the temperature requirements in broccoli production, with the aim of predicting the effects of any environmental variations and of successfully managing its production under these conditions.
