Sustainable Crop Productivity and Quality under Climate Change:
Responses of Crop Plants to Climate Change explores the
physiological, biochemical, and molecular basis of the responses of
major crop plants to a range of climate change scenarios. From the
development of climate-resilient crop varieties which lead to
enhanced crop productivity and quality to better utilization of
natural resources to ensure food security through modern breeding
techniques, it presents insights into improving yield while
securing the environment. Understanding the impact of climate on
crop quality and production is a key challenge of crop science.
Predicted increases in climate variability necessitate crop
varieties with intrinsic resilience to cooccurring abiotic stresses
such as heat, drought, and flooding in a future climate of elevated
CO2. This book presents a much-needed mechanistic understanding of
the interactions between multiple stress responses of plants that
is required to identify and take advantage of acclimation traits in
major crop species as a prerequisite for securing robust yield and
good quality. This book is an excellent reference for crop and
agricultural scientists, plant scientists, and researchers working
on crop plant ecophysiology/stress physiology and future crop
production.
Priming-Mediated Stress and Cross-Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants
provides the latest, in-depth understanding of the molecular
mechanisms associated with the development of stress and
cross-stress tolerance in plants. Plants growing under field
conditions are constantly exposed, either sequentially or
simultaneously, to many abiotic or biotic stress factors. As a
result, many plants have developed unique strategies to respond to
ever-changing environmental conditions, enabling them to monitor
their surroundings and adjust their metabolic systems to maintain
homeostasis. Recently, priming mediated stress and cross-stress
tolerance (i.e., greater tolerance to a second, stronger stress
after exposure to a different, milder primary stress) have
attracted considerable interest within the scientific community as
potential means of stress management and for producing
stress-resistant crops to aid global food security.
Priming-Mediated Stress and Cross-Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants
comprehensively reviews the physiological, biochemical, and
molecular basis of cross-tolerance phenomena, allowing researchers
to develop strategies to enhance crop productivity under stressful
conditions and to utilize natural resources more efficiently. The
book is a valuable asset for plant and agricultural scientists in
corporate or government environments, as well as educators and
advanced students looking to promote future research into plant
stress tolerance.
