Under ongoing climate changes, natural and cultivated habitats of
major crops are being continuously disturbed. Such conditions
impose and exacerbate abiotic and biotic stressors. Drought,
salinity, flood, cold, heat, heavy metals, metalloids, oxidants,
irradiation, etc. are important abiotic stressors, while diseases
and infections caused by plant pathogens, such as fungal agents,
bacteria and viruses, are major biotic stresses. In many instances,
stresses have become the major limiting factor for agricultural
productivity and exert detrimental role on growth and yield of the
crops. To help feed an ever increasing world population and to
ensure global food security, concerted efforts from scientists and
researchers have identified strategies to manage and mitigate the
impacts of climate-induced stresses. This book, summarizing their
findings, is aimed at crop improvement beyond such kind of
barriers, by agronomic practices (genetics, breeding, phenotyping,
etc.) and biotechnological applications, including molecular
markers, QTL mapping, genetic engineering, transgenesis, tissue
culture, various 'omics' technologies and gene editing. It will
cover a wide range of topics under environmental challenges,
agronomy and agriculture processes, and biotechnological
approaches. Additionally, fundamental mechanisms and applied
information on stress responses and tolerance will be discussed.
This book highlights problems and offers proper solutions for crop
stress management with recent information and up-to-date citations.
We believe this book is suitable for scientists, researchers and
students working in the fields of agriculture, plant science,
environmental biology and biotechnology.
