Abiotic stresses such as temperature, radiation, salinity, heavy
metals and drought can all limit crop productivity. The
anthropogenic activities and changed agricultural system, intense
use of chemical fertilizers and artificial irrigation have
increased temperature, UV-B radiation, drought, salinity and heavy
metals stresses and have caused yield losses. To overcome yield
losses due to abiotic stresses, plants need to possess mechanisms
of avoidance and tolerance to stress. For sustainable agricultural
development, crops should have abiotic stress resistant traits and
the mechanism for stress tolerance. This book provides coverage of
the advances in the area of abiotic stress responses and stress
management. Key features: Describes physiological and molecular
responses, and the role of signalling molecules and plant phenolics
in abiotic stress tolerance. Covers salinity induced oxidative
stress, strategies of halophytes to survive in a salty environments
and tolerance mechanisms. Discusses heavy metal induced modulation
of gene expression, and the role of metal binding peptides and
antioxidants. Deals with the resistance mechanism related to
changes in endogenous polyamines to drought stress. Covers
herbicide contamination in plants. Describes the significance of
salicylic acid in abiotic stress tolerance.
