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.
