Abiotic stress drastically limits agricultural crop productivity
worldwide. Climate change threatens the sustainable agriculture
with its rapid and unpredictable effects, making it difficult for
agriculturists and farmers to respond to the challenges cropping up
from environmental stresses.In light of population growth and
climate changes, investment in agriculture is the only way to avert
wide scale food shortages. This challenge comes at a time when
plant sciences are witnessing remarkable progress in understanding
the fundamental processes of plant growth and development. Plant
researchershave identifiedgenes controlling different aspects of
plant growth and development, but many challenges still exist in
creating an apt infrastructure, access to bioinformatics and good
crop results. "Improvement of Crops in the Era of Climatic Changes,
Volume2"focuses on many existing opportunities that can be applied
methodically through conventional breeding, without touching upon
the latest discoveries such as the power of genomics to applied
breeding in plant biology.
Written by a diversefaction of internationally famedscholars,
this volume adds new horizons in the field of crop improvement,
genetic engineering and abiotic stress tolerance. Comprehensive and
lavishly illustrated, "Improvement of Crops in the Era of Climatic
Changes, Volume2"is a state-of-the-art guide to recent
developmentsvis-a-visvarious aspects of plant responses in
molecular and biochemical ways to create strong yields and overall
crop improvement."
