This book consists of 10 Chapters in 4 Parts. The first Part is an
introduction and contains Chapter 1 to introduce the book chapters
to the audiences. The second Part consists of two chapters under
the name, Impact of Climate Change on Crop Production and the
Physiological and Biochemical Basis for Crops Tolerance. The
Chapter 2 focus on critical periods of crop plants to stress
conditions and the expected impacts of climate changes mainly on
the productivity and quality of field crops. While, Chapter 3
highlights the foundations of crop tolerance to environmental
stress and plant traits relevant to stress tolerance. It is devoted
to explain and discuss mechanisms of adaptation to environmental
stress conditions and addresses various plant traits related to
stress environmental tolerance i.e. phenological,
morpho-physiological and biochemical traits which could be used as
selection criteria for crops improvement. The third Part consists
of 5 Chapters under the theme "Improve Crop Adaptability and
Stability to Climate Change and Modern Technology". Chapter 4
highlights the most important strategic food grain crop (wheat),
Chapter 5 focuses the important staple food crop (rice), while
Chapter 6 deals with one of the most important food legume crops
(faba bean). Chapter 7 and 8 discuss two important oil crops
(sesame and sunflower). However, Chapter 9 focuses on cotton as one
of the most important fiber crops. The author addresses these crops
under the following headings: genotype x environment interaction
and its relation to climatic change on yield production,
performance of genotypes in response to environmental changes,
adaptability and yield stability to environmental conditions,
additive main effects and multiplicative interaction model, gene
action, genetic behavior and heritability for traits related to
environmental stress tolerance, role of recent approaches,
biotechnology and nanotechnology. This is besides how can measure
sensitivity of genotypes to environmental stress, and finally the
appropriate agricultural practices to mitigate environmental stress
on crops under attention. The book ends with Chapter No. 10 where
the author presents an update of the book topics, present the most
important conclusions and recommendations from all chapters. This
book has been prepared and supported by recent references and
statistics with coloured tables and illustrations for audiences
interested in crop science,environment, plant breeding, genetics
and biotechnology, as well as postgraduate students and researchers
in universities and research centres.
