This book presents recent advances in global wheat crop research,
including the effects of abiotic stresses like high and low
temperatures, drought, hypoxia, salinity, heavy metals, nutrient
deficiency, and toxicity on wheat production. It also highlights
various approaches to alleviate the damaging effects of abiotic
stress on wheat as well as advanced approaches to develop
abiotic-stress-tolerant wheat crops. Wheat is probably one of the
world's most important cereals; it is a staple food in more than 40
countries, and because of its adaptability is cultivated in almost
every region. Global wheat production has more than doubled in the
last 50 years due to higher yields. However, despite their high
yield potential, modern wheat cultivars are often subject to crop
loss due to the abiotic stresses. As such, plant breeders have long
aimed to improve tolerance in order to maintain yield. Written by
85 experts, and offering the latest insights into wheat responses
and tolerance to various abiotic stresses, it is a valuable tool
for agronomists, plant breeders, plant physiologists and students
in the field of plant science and agriculture. It is the first book
to comprehensively cover past and current abiotic stress problems
and tolerance mechanisms.
