This edited book is a comprehensive collection of scientific
research on different plants under drought and salt stress
conditions. The main focus of this book is to elaborate on the
mechanisms being operative in plants under stress and how various
biological factors mitigate the adverse effects for better plant
productivity. This book covers all physiological, biochemical, and
molecular mechanisms operating under drought and saline
stresses. The current status and impact of drought and
salinity on various crop plants have been elaborated on in
different chapters. Agricultural lands are either turning barren or
becoming more saline and drought-prone with increasing
temperatures, decreasing water tables, untimely rainfall, and other
environmental factors. In India, salt-affected soils occupy an area
of about 6.73 million ha of which saline and sodic soils constitute
roughly 40 and 60%, respectively. All these factors individually or
cumulatively, affect the plant growth and development and hence,
the crop productivity with the monetary loss. The inbuilt plant's
ability with modified/acclimatized mechanisms has been described in
various chapters with step-wise descriptions. The role of various
plant growth-promoting agents including nano-particles,
micro-organisms, metabolites or phytohormones, etc in mitigating
adverse effects of drought and salinity has been explained
precisely. Updated information on the use of speed breeding,
proteomics, epigenetics, and transcriptomics in different crops
along with high throughput technologies is included for the
cross-talk of various network mechanisms. This book is
helpful for the readers in knowing salinity and drought through the
physiological, biochemical and genetic, and molecular levels to
understand plant behaviour under stress conditions. Also, the book
serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and
graduate students of agriculture, plant physiology, biochemistry,
forestry, and environmental sciences. National and international
agricultural scientists and policymakers will also find this to be
a useful read.
